Fanfare; 39; The March King: John Philip Sousa

nina thanks and wardrobe and what speaks to fundamental rhythm and the human organizations airmen airmen yes i've seen and profoundly moved by a few measures of a really inspired mott right now atlanta it's been done it must be as free as a marble statue know

in this book just about a hundred years ago a thirteen year old boy i decided to run away from home so perhaps of thousands of other boys made the same decision and this one was just a bit if you haven't been one thing we wouldn't be making this one wound up in the us marines and went on to become the march king jack garratt ale the piece is the piece band i have heard the expression rather not have that you is

in relation to the performance picture of the vatican's simonetta come with ticker tape parade and this is the very essence of some its important measure to michael a dynamic wow oh well be opposed to new york and he had a special kind of march unlike any other i wouldn't know how to analyze it but i know it when i hear it i knew it when i heard him that when i conduct these marches i tried to simulate that kind of them but he did it to perfection area my memory is also astonishing the good showmanship that list

number composer and master of the queen's music and i agree with that constant and that the intensity and strauss is the last of the wallace souza is the master of the march are an hour it was there that was my influence on it with a pupil often by and he played that thing b only nine of the all in although one is part of the george balanchine lincoln center in new york his ballet stars and stripes this episode of music oh range of the new law in title music and marches and mike fits here by our economy it's the walk on the lengthy mental which is the french wire

looked at the brains of people look a lot like maybe see that how americans or why do that they need to pass by the plan to pass by and they would the bill was stalled by the washington post a few days and to cross the sea to americans poised on the threshold of a new sending him to tantalizing future expansion and plenty in march he summed up the youthful enthusiasm country just coming to me

as bell nico come in his own lifetime america's foremost musical interpreter that it isn't the greatest master of art form of unknown this with susan raye nico pitney it has been the position it's been

as bunny honey ms bee other british musician i'm a fan of susan's i can't help thinking that that form of random unswerving american patriotism and a bit out of place today americans me how little in jazz and yet this film still says i'm not being paid by bands all over the world the pageantry and ceremony that launched it may have faded away but the music itself

is indestructible aeronautical engineer and tuba player bull bile has been working for years on a definitive biography american phenomenon john philip sousa you don't have to sell says the resort himself quite well now we're at much more than just the martyrs for which is rare here at fourteen operettas sweets fantasies us that says walters yes down musical theater productions and it made over two hundred and sixty arrangements and transcriptions of other composer's music as an author he wrote seven books including three novels and dozens of articles for magazines and newspapers also and i think you should remember this he wrote more than just for band he wrote for orchestra violin and piano and his songs he was very sentimental about a song langella

lawyer oh oh he's done eighties do

you live alone ha ha ha all

right eighty eight william odom former trump are now a bbc producer of bambi songs that nowadays would never draw crowds to drawing rooms suites a seminar for today's bandstand audiences oldest part of sue's is enormous about the footage of just enormous output by today's standards not only surveilled the standards we have most of it will be rejected thirty matches only about half of apple played

that other fine march composers the british offered in particular his output of course is very much smaller but his barges or regular play and regularly reprinted the band was so special about this is that in fact made his name is there was some of the what's often on his job and the initials as sort of pit in front of the usa soon as i was some inevitable up and i truly alterman loss to america that is about all this and i got to go write the military moved issue on a variety of unfortunately an issue of things that that ended their monarch ms harris oh you've got to make the uss lincoln sell me on new york jazz and both of them the pods and joe main another himself was shown enough to appreciate the value of the bizarre stories that

circulated about his name as he admitted in his autobiography we're not at a recruiting finger pride pointed at the bundy a lustrous line of ancestral sues is a political at that in fact his father was antonio souza a portuguese mother a german but he was born in a sleepy southern town hall washington dc eighteen fifty four the eldest of ten children an american through and through and i had i had the opportunity to be born again i would select the same parents the same city and the same time and that's a bean ball on the most important event of my life was when i began the study of music he's been the case is back to pittsburgh as buzz fielding

what's more himself probably of a match when he did was in connection with maliki parades un sponsored than strictly a civilian business out it would certainly be a bit overwhelming it's been in the code what the day and more as the pity and often hear susan played as it was played during his lifetime limits on a purchase military bands in britain is as guilty as any country in this respect and to play susan in a stiff upper lip parade grounds though they simply don't seem able to capture for one thing the joyful dance like quality of the original i

mean the economy isn't it really can be published and paid nearly everywhere with little respect for his original intentions arizona than it was never the best bet for the bomb that then obama got ill mickey i didn't need people you see this is this reconstruction insisted on to say that it was at the height of its fame is especially for this program and it does give us pretty close to the sun the sun you can do it and the famous for placing you know having come forward today only these models of the bill facing forward still in

active use we had individuals of the funds made with a large upright no rain catchers so that as he said islam diffused over the job and like a frosted cake will have many the electrifying romantic any rain rain

rain it's been tough but as bees bees be nice nice nice nice many companies the whole point is sousa knew without having unnecessarily martin the score exactly what

sound he wanted and he knew how to develop a plane technique that expressed in fact people said that when souza played his mark as they sounded different well sousa was a showman and to be a success is much has had to sound different it's hardly surprising he kept a few good tricks to himself in fact in rehearsal he insisted upon meticulous attention to dynamics shadings and tone color and much more even than a symphony orchestra conductor might and he insisted that his musicians learned this in fact they had to learn to improvise so robert clark the most famous chord player of all time this is me with him in nineteen thirty nine he could play it for octave dramatic scale up and down four times in one breath told of his first rehearsal with the sousa band when they rehearsed to one a half hours on the first sixteen measures of an overture and here is bilbo one of his most famous sousaphone players of all time

it was a huge instrument the very first sousaphone ever built and i must say it was a pleasure playing and even though it did an awful lot of red you know it takes a lot of trees to play that you were you just got what he wanted i mean the other day it's bleak and the way he wanted was to get it recognized that his cars and with a real music to be the artistic people are the finest symphony orchestra before gramophone records all radio would come into their own but for the sheer professionalism and pack on his audience is this music more than just different it was a glorious patriotic a stupendous noise his business is bad

we can we can and her eighteen sixty one patriotism divided down the middle by civil war washington and on camp threatened by confederate cannon measured with guns and the sound of war on the march through that was that nonstop he was actually offered a job with a magician by small traveling circus when he was asleep one morning they mean what they thought was his secret decision to run away and join the big talk that very day his father a trombonist in the us marine band larkin

gently and took him for a short time he was within minutes a thirteen year old boy was not only persuaded to join the marines but was in the office of the combat signing on or put nine inches high eyes black hair black dark complexion by trade or occupation cabinet maker you can't be in the us marine band played trombone for seven years even part time without picking up most things about religion music not just how to play the notes but how to make a habit of poise of self discipline and the marshal tucson from some parade they were just as exciting as a circus i love them all good about like when finally did leave he just jog around best advice it would be go if you become a good pianist he would probably want to compose on the instrument and if you're not careful your fingers

will fall into pleasant places where somebody else's afford before he became musical director of the local variety house played the violin in heightened corporate and in a theatre orchestra for a man with mutton chop whiskers go off and bach composed edited and conducting professional usual it ran an entire season can afford to spend a full games in a fall clothing was probably a craze like a gentle davy crockett seventy five years by saying that guinea bayless what does an understudy in an amateur

he was sixteen when he married students who are now unable to go on she had another education for me and i wanted to marry me not cook for me i can always do it naively innocently entitle complication as much a musical comedy written just after his marriage survivors it's been weeks became it's been the case be the service had three children the youngest is that his head and

says the neighbor and a policy was chosen at leader of burning carbon and so that actually thrown back more or less and launches the composition an early years your mama's seventeen when he was much older than the band was organized in military action as his father's clothes because there's perhaps grab them were always that's where they set up when an eighteen at hand in a blitz father went back to manage a service to be musical director of the us marine band what had been a mediocre musical notation was to become like the way he dressed absolutely so but as monica grandmas is didn't get commissioned sousa served on the five presidents as sergeant major the story went around that gentle ground have known only to choose one which was yankee doodle and the other was and i can hardly credit that story

i know more than one president relief from exacting duties of a great reception to find rest by sitting quietly in the corner listening to the music and twelve is susan of that suv or five presidents for a long lasting began to build up the marine bands like me with good music from europe barely owes greig tchaikovsky rossini wagner they were all there he also increased the number of musicians that they and their stand the pain started longer toes no mean feat when the rules of a lot of the twenty four hours away from base and still found time to compose himself that not just marty either by the end of the ad nineties he had full production washington at eighty nine and students had gathered to receive prizes for essay writing award by the washington post the marine band will now play a march composed by professor susan and dedicated to the washington post nico it was

by the police because he can fb is because it's been the case became he comes by the queen's beaks but he comes

back it was chosen almost immediately rather than some lessons to produce the new dance the two step i saw this famous to the philadelphia publisher like me i say no no it's bleak nico it's bleak

the peak is big we came to play by now citizens united states marine band was really something and he could show visitors to rehearsal just how disciplined his soldier players could be a favorite trick was to get them to follow the beat regardless here is more of a balance chicago one of the last month as to compose while still in the united states marines this

week the police by the paintings by fbi it's being appealed it's been nice beings but the

point is the point the pie plate the pain of the past weeks english schoolmaster from barrow in furness and ardent suitor duty

as a country in that report an english commission appointed time to time the things most important in winning more music at the list only after food clothing and shelter perhaps only today would we be forced with weapons a little bit higher on the list of the music after all the souza himself was careful to emphasize in a magazine article that cyrus is in the present is used music by rallying not real combat tours now at the end of last century it was the beginning of the trenton michigan and music in europe as well as in america where the united states marine band simply says i'm tempted by the office of a quadruple summary from chicago businessman was a vitally there was no route with the marines but now he wants to start his own civilians than washington gas washingtonians amazed that the presumption of chicago uri will accept the white house chicago's game confirmed the emergence of the

real souza he was not just a famous outdoor military parade that composer religion etc one of the first to recognize the attractiveness of a combination of wood wind brass and percussion for purely indo entertainment should be not says about patrick gilmore gilmore died in at night it was by chance the day before suspects switzerland civilian concert says is nearing forty five players it morphs contract with the chicago world's fair was cancelled and given to cities so by chance he became particularly efficient at first business was not to them a year we have inherited nineteen he lowers that players and like mr souza was in the us to show our rights now we've seen something of what sousa's band became in the forty odd years after eighteen ninety two but what were those showman tricks that sousa kept so carefully to

himself well in addition to the unexpected accident notes one of the best was taking our instruments they come to the military bands i can play well just everything on the written page and from susan wood spontaneously we develop the complete brass section for example even if they did have something to play while using other planets it dropped down and it helps to prevent the magic effect listen first to this as a trip as a song you'll recognize which occurs in the trio over hill over dale as we get rid of the ad now without the presses and drop the woodwind section to not that while keeping the real noise in reserve and adding a few gun shots for good measure this bill

is but as bleak the peak he came to play the piano playing the

puzzle we're going to jump all of those people are in the middle of you know late friend simon says is so the only way it was just wants is a wanted them to do real showbiz wrestling with that cholesterol capital it's bleak it's been thanks

weeks back playing piano speaking greek so immediately there

came one of the most vivid incidents in my career i was absorbed in the folds of my managers that in the many duties and decisions that awaited mean you suddenly i began to sense the rhythmic rule out that whole transport that imaginary band continued to unfold the same echoing and we're calling the most distinct melody and i did not transfer a single note of that music that they put into a ritual and not a note of it has been changed since the composition is known the world over as the stars and stripes were they the words were written by susan soon after he finished music perfect

strangers and they seem to get a terrific returned from the music because it says that mines that country particularly in making it into a national model for private company control the proper plan was temporarily abandon least until one and that a contribution to the legend of the march king was the way in which he perfected the march four and the stars and stripes is one of the best examples of the typical sousaphone the short arresting introduction the lights getting melodic first came a broader than the melody for the second and for the trio a change of key and everybody convention into the bar and who could resist those huge symphonic climaxes it's b as bees bees

bees bees bet you can't deny there's something so little of their artistic ability of america but they quickly realized the tremendous diversity in england the command performance was given four of them and afterwards i've heard the seven percent of caesar with victorian order personal gift of the sovereign service directly above is the first american ever to receive as well as making photos of europe the banjo the north american continent annually for thirty nine years still out its a world tour which says it undertook in nineteen ten were considerable it was the first time in the history of music and the musical innovation of such great numbers have traveled so

far been played in so many different countries all that's been a real troopers they had to be observers <unk> two daughters of being because they went to and all this record of travel that was involved in a neat to train wrecks in nineteen oh six and nineteen twenty nine luckily without serious injury it's been fun my people need but in the pandemonium can be heard asking only about his spectacles the contract and build a platform that was learned later with both a carpenter and an

undertaker we're also the color later much solid men to the front it could've been dedicated to those trombones perhaps fortunately romney are there any women in the band except the occasional violinist or hobbyists and solo singers so that personally watched over them when they came to her and insisting that they each can go sightseeing with him and his wife just occasionally one would rebel of being can end up like a hothouse flower life is too risky san francisco nineteen fifteen panama pacific international exposition organized to celebrate the completion of the panama canal gowanus right he's a

fun groove panama especially for that sense it was also the official orchestral says on i became the best of friends we used to wonder about the grounds again and he always seemed to have an ipod lovely woman fine slim beauty seem to make little impression on but when one with territorial expansion over the site even mentioned the broader other being the great end is the light we need to come to pass but the pain a band going on with both

the men of will soon as the united states entered world war one says gave up a certain fortune lately it's been and again a huge task he trained whole battalion say the boy is doing little over three thousand of that sound the american challenge to battle you can keep the peace there are so many compositions it's difficult to choose but a good example of this period as a march which is very rarely heard we are coming it demands huge virtuosity from the press is as a brilliant

baseline and has a magnificent crescendo this is because beaks week it's been the peaks be many many thanks the penny to pay any

kind of money nice be nice be many many counties nice be nice nico the

preakness bleak watts who's a successor will blow was his monticello banging his character so a muffled and his music so arresting that his autobiography may sound in fact i understand that he was a kindly an aggressive man who took great interest in his friends and his old conductor should do in his musicians he scarcely ever lost his temper and his aloofness and occasional bursts of sarcasm were quite enough to maintain discipline there really was no not in the slightest aggressive i had the privilege of attending some of his rehearsals when he would require certain things certain players but never aggressive or was in a friendly way you would phrase it is it possible to make more action on right now what it possible to make a spot more conditional so it was

always possible who ever played for him and literally hundreds of bands one can claim to have done so at one time or another they all respected him his guiding principal was to give audiences what they wanted to make sure it was the best in the late nineteen twenties gramophone records right time radio announced the plot follows retrace lincoln's day began to find it difficult to operate at a profit what's more in a reactionary didn't allow the ban on radiant really was over seventy four and have long resisted the temptation of making recordings nico it's b he's nineteen

he's sold seventy eight records of the so called sousa band are often recordings of a much smaller group in the early eighties twelve or fourteen musicians only would gather around an oversized on sitting on four standing on benches to be directed by an assistant later years there were often offseason content that that studio that most of sousa wasn't even that and that's exactly what it was no this is the location of a one zero box office receipts fellow shopper and once those that although unexplainable as wholesome broke his neck in a serious inevitably give again using the left arm and this we should remember if we thought about his conducting powers from such films nowadays in action most of it from the laity is often leave act like it's not about islam film of him at his seventieth birthday celebration

thank you souzas to attach great importance to the titles not the end of some of them at the data at the time they'll mince some people or world events in the line is selling well but it didn't stick in them and so the current shape our washington memorial a lawsuit well you might've become one of them and when the stock market crashed or disgrace the mission at the opening of a new building says it particularly well here's ben is

back very robust was the all are returning after an absence of forty years to combat the us marines in front of president hoover the occasion was another new law low wealth using commemorating the time when the british regiment lost together with the marines and the king hoover died in nineteen thirty two and it thrives in reading pennsylvania all of the attempts were made to keep the band together musicians gradually last year today's the survivors the numbers inevitably dwindling fast film evil annual reunion quote reminiscent

nice breezes europeans remembers really high didn't realize until my father died after eighteen months i think it was saying that people lining up the streets of washington that's a case on the road towards the cemetery and saw these women weeping they possibly find in an unsettling character me that's my father so what we left with the memory of a straightforward good humored good traditional musicians a cremation jump in chattanooga i'm a family man

religiously of data but a man who just think that there's been electrifying showbiz picks up his sleeve and made himself but he may be replaceable there was always something about the construction which bore the stamp of the composer of his quality and after all that is the highlight of any composer to be known by his and individuals as a large composer says i had plenty of competition in the discussion says the who wrote the best margins and they've all time we'll never be resolved but it is a matter of record that far more of sousa's marches are universally popular why because he was a composer with dr a composer and an entertainer and it is from this but the legend grew and when you do get the full treatment this kind of music as a knockout i don't think we could do better than men but amar told george washington bicentennial
