I played in a high school in houston Texas inthe 1960s, and we played Sousa mostly. I can still feel my fingers on my piccolo. Good memories

My grandfather cut a college class and got a demerit for it to go see John Philip Sousa and band. He said it was well worth it. Excellent job hunting down all those pictures.

Great to hear this. Thank-you. With such a wealth of good music from one composer, it's often a shame that most of his best marches are rarely heard these days. Here are a few of the really good lesser-known ones, in no particular order,: The Northern Pines, Pathfinder of Panama, The New York Hippodrome, Fairest of the Fair, Bride Elect, Transit of Venus, The Diplomat, The Gladiator, Black Horse Troop, and Our Flirtation. There are dozens more, not to mention Sousa's many other non-march compositions.

The displayed musical examples of Sousa's marches in this production come from recordings by the Staff Music Corps Band of the German Armed Forces, conducted by Major Friedrich Deisenroth (1903-1997), who produced an LP with Sousa's most popular marches. The sound is unmistakable.

Thank you! This was magnificent! My father introduced me to Sousa’s music when I was 5 or 6 and I have from that time, always found myself stirred, inspired and energized when listening to his marches. That I’m originally from Singapore and still retain that memory from the mid-fifties, is all the more poignant to me in that my dad used Sousa’s music as an introduction to classical music for me, which at that age I literally had a fear of - particularly Mozart and Bach, Haydn and Handel. A sensitive child, I guess, I would run away from the radio in fear. I never knew their names till much later on, because I didn’t want to know, but when my dad noticed I was quite happy when hearing Sousa or Johan Strauss, Tchaikovsky waltzes he made it a point to tell me one day, that John Philip Sousa composed great marches and that this was classical music too. From that day, I never ever forgot the name of the great man who made a little girl get over her emotions and gravitate to a full-blown classical aficionado. I owe the maestro - and my dad- a lot. God Bless America! Thank you again for posting! 👏🏻🎉🇺🇸 🎶 🎼🇺🇸❤️

Sousa’s Washington Post March is popular worldwide. I was born in India, in our annual sports, it was played in piano and the whole school marched to the music he composed. After so many years I found the Washington Post again. I am so pleased to hear it again and see the young myself in the huge stadium filled with teachers and parents

This is fantastic. As a huge history lover and a music lover and a military lover and a music lover I saved this to two of my playlists. I find this video exquisitely done. It's on the non KZbin level of quality, as in a professional level, master documentary from a TV studio or such. That's where I think you found it and copied it to your KZbin channel because it has no semblance to even good content creators on KZbin. Thanks for the wonderful exportation of quality content.

John Philip Sousa fue un auténtico genio del género. Está en el mismo nivel de los grandes compositores, como Richard Wagner, Offenbach, Verdi, Richard Strauss, Carl Teike, Wilhelm Zehle y Kenneth J. Alford, entre otros. El colorido y brillantez de sus composiciones son difíciles de igualar. Este compositor, arreglista y director sí que merece todo nuestro respeto y admiración. 👥⚕️👥 🇭🇳

Band Music was the Pop Music at the time. His Band was like the Beatles in popularity. He was cheesed off that others were making money off him? Nothing changes. If he was alive today he'd still be nailing it in what ever style. Great Muso.

Nice video. Strange to see A lot of photos of Sousa wearing Naval Officer’s uniforms, as I understand it he was a Marine Corps Officer and resigned his commission as a Major.
@PlanetEarth31412 жыл бұрын
For most of Marine Corp history they were part of the US Navy. Look it up. The US Marines are a reflection of the English habit of putting sharpshooters on ManofWar ships to shoot enemies on other ships from the yard arms of sailing ships. The beginning US Navy adopted this British habit. Thus, a seaman/soldier. The oldest marine tune I know of is The Halls of Montezuma. It refers to a city in Mexico that was the first place in history where Marines came ashore in war in large numbers and spear headed an army into Mexico City. If you appreciate military marches and songs you should learn more.

@PlanetEarth31412 жыл бұрын
Stars and Stripes Forever is only second to our National anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. The great America the Beautiful is third. One March versus two songs. I'd say America has done itself proud. Sousa is the greatest American composer of all time. Sorry about that Duke Ellington, Count Bassi, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey. But our ignorant, unlearned population doesn't know of music history, especially young folks and thugs, they only know crap.

If you want to correctly change a point by writing you should cite the source of your data. Otherwise it's a mere opinion. So find that Portuguese statement and who and when it was professionally documented or I'll assume your wrong and so should everyone. That's how it's done and you should have learned that in high school English classes.

@@achillebelanger9546 That's hearsay evidence and not a documented source. BTW, I figure it's likely true Sousa was part Portuguese. But you haven't verified it at all. I'm not prone to take people's word for fact as most are dumber than sheep and brainwashed. You didn't even bother to spend one minute looking for Sousa info to link. Granted I could look myself, but I am not the one taking issue with the video info. You are. Personally I don't care what Sousa's parents were so I'm not spending time looking stuff up. That was your job to do to show viewers you're right, not mine.
