SOUSA Hands Across the Sea (1899) - "The President's Own" United States Marine Band

[@dingusdingus2152]

I whistle this in public sometimes. People stare at me like I'm a nutcase. Can't help it, I played the euphonium in bands and orchestras all over the u.s. for 17 years and Souza marches have burrowed so deeply into the crevasses in my brain that they have become earworms. Pity me, o fans of band music, Souza wrote 138 marches...

[@dingusdingus2152]

@@Billy219 agreed. But woe unto the poor schmuck who, like me, has them all competing against each other for play time inside my head ...😁

As a fellow Euph player, I love this song. I played it in my junior year of high school and I loved this.

[@dingusdingus2152]

@@Lamp-In-The-Dark sousa never fails to deliver. There is another one called 'on parade' which I'd recommend which you might also like. If you're really a glutton for punishment listen to karl king's " the melody shop"...

저는 1971년 생 남성 입니다. 제가 고등 학교 다닐 때, 학교에 밴드부가 있었습니다. 남자 음악 선생님이 지도 하셨는데요. 금관 악기와 타악기로 구성 된 밴드부였습니다. 도 대회도 나가서 은상을 받은 게 떠오릅니다. 저는 음악을 잘 몰라서 밴드부에 들어가지도 못했습니다. 매 월 마지막 목요일 6 ~ 8교시는 학교 밴드부가 정기 공연을 했습니다. 학교 대 강당에 전 교직원과 전교생이 다 모여서 관전 했습니다. 칠판에 연주 할 곡명과 가수, 작곡자를 순서대로 써놔서, 그 당시 이 곡이 무슨 곡인지 알수 있었습니다. 가요, 팝송,클래식, 행진곡, 가곡, 동요, 건전 가요, 군가, 민요 그리고 독실한 크리스천 이셨던 밴드부 선생님이 찬송가도 연주 하게하신 겁니다. 당시 3년간 제일 많이 연주 된 곡이 바로 이 Hand across the sea 라는 곡 입니다. 어릴 때는 근처에 공군 부대 (평택)가 있어서 가끔 훈련이 걸리면 각종 군악대의 행진곡이 나온 겁니다. 70년대 중반 ~ 80년대 중반 인데요, 그 때도 제일 많이 들은 곡이 바로 이 Hand across the sea 입니다.

Une version de référence sans doute. On entend bien toutes les parties. Bravo au pupitre des percussions très équilibré, vraiment. discret quand il le faut, et présent aussi au bon moment.

My affirmations include ‘safety’ I am so pleased you included it. Peace, safety, encouragement for others. ‘ A rising tide raises all ships’ May everyone who visits you, on whatever platform be part of the tide that raises others up, in their home, their neighborhood or across the ocean. Love and light to all.

One of Sousa's all time greatest hits.

[@Banana-w7h]

bro sousa said lets make this piece slap

[@MrSeekerOfPeace]

Apparently when this piece was first composed the audience demanded they play it another three times.

[@rouxlsyy]

my fav song by Sousa ever :D

Probably my favorite Sousa march, but yet again, all of them are great! But this one, in my opinion, has the best piccolo obbligato.

[@roo.pzz4380]

We played this piece in my high school concert band. Funny thing is, we played it in a different key! I tried to play along but found that it sounded really weird

This song came on in the background as I was cleaning my Argentine 1891 Mauser and the Argentine acceptance mark of two clasping hands seems fitting to go along with this song.

[@angelascheu8037]

In light of what's going on, it should be titled "Elbow Bumps Across the Sea."

A euphonium player’s worst nightmare

[@tullyaklein]

Worst nightmare, regarding learning it, but I was so surprised I remembered every note just "vocalizing" or ("tongueing" in that case with some vocals) to it. I didn't hear it in like 3-5 years now. I'm literally still off-book! Might have to take a few runs on my Euphonium with the finger technique, but I'm sure I can nail it again.

[@ducodarling]

There is a minimum volume level for Sousa's marches. I'm gonna need about three more fortes

[@Thebanjoberk]

those are rookie numbers

[@magmahawk583]

Nah, The President’s Own paves the way for how these marches should be played
