Good timing on this video, with National Emblem being played at the inauguration and all

[@charlesgaskell5899]

I wonder whether it was coincidence they chose to play the trio section immediately before Lady Gaga sang The Star Spangled Banner in an arrangement that starts off in 4/4

[@gabrieldellatorre585]

I LOVE National Emblem. I've played since I was a teenager. Congrats :) Greetings from BR

[@diatoniclemonade3687]

Thanks for all the interesting information! Terrific commentary. I've always enjoyed National Emblem and The Chimes of Liberty for their fervent, robust trios. Great marches indeed!

[@bradfordrusso7480]

National Emblem March -- a brilliantly ingenious piece. It's actually TWO different melodies playing simultaneously. One being our national anthem, The Star Bangled Banner. I always said this piece is THE GREATEST NON-Sousa march. But, as usual, nobody ever believes anything I say. Finally! This video proves I was right. Because it explains the composition. (Which I could NOT do, since I can't read sheet music. But, even a cursory glance at the notes on paper clearly shows it to be extremely sophisticated and complex in its construction.)

found you trying to find a recording to play with for school, very good content, subbing :)

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

thank you! glad to have you with us

[@wildbill6926]

As always, great work and an excellent selection of marches. There is so much rich music in this form that folks should really look to all the other composers in addition to Sousa. Thanks so much, Tony.

you're so welcome, Bill!

I love both of these marches. I am glad to see these were the ones you picked to cover. I would also like to see a video on the piece "Huntingtower Ballad" by Ottorino Respighi. It is his only piece he ever composed for winds and it is kind of interesting.

[@myles_idk]

the chimes of liberty absolutely slaps

[@edjusten4176]

It totally does. I'm a piccolo player and I LOVED playing that solo.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Marches DO slap, chimes of liberty especially

[@jncrook5409]

It's the break strain, get it right! I love this video, thanks for featuring marches finally!!!

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

that's what i said, no?

[@jncrook5409]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic I was talking about the very beginning (0:42) when you showed the form.

[@WolfgangXP65-67]

I kinda like it being called the Dogfight fr

[@anthonybutler6123]

These are some booty shaking good marches!

[@DavidLovrien]

7:56 Chord labeled German 6th has no G-flat in the score but diagram indicates it should?

[@padraicfanning7055]

This is a case of mistaken nationality on the part of Anthony. The chord should have been labeled as a French 6th (Eb, G, A, C#; as you may know, this one has the two tritones), instead of as a German 6th (Eb, G, Bb, C#; this one has a P5, which is liable to cause Bach to kick a cat). Good catch!

[@HelloooThere]

Yee haa!

[@padraicfanning7055]

Hornists are like: "if you've played one march, you've played 'em all." _For the most part,_ that's true. However, as a hornist, I wish I would've gotten an opportunity to play "The Chimes of Liberty", specifically for the Wagner chords.

[@charlesgaskell5899]

5:23 - it's up a major third rather than a minor third...

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

sorry I knew that I just mistyped. It's a one man operation here and you can only proofread everything effectively to some extent. It's not until you finish and put it out there that you see such (glaring) errors! haha

[@charlesgaskell5899]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic Occupational hazard! Other than that minor slip, a nice illuminating analysis. I love that you have never done marches and then as an act of perversity choose to do two NOT by Sousa... :-)
