John Philip Sousa's Public Domain Marches arranged for Brass Quintet
|
In June of 2024 I completed arranging all of John Philip Sousa's public domain marches for brass quintet. It took 2.5 years, beginning in late 2021.
These Brass Quintet arrangements were made using “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band’s The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa scores as found at https://www.marineband.marines.mil/Audio-Resources/The-Complete Marches-of-John-Philip-Sousa/. Section titles (such as “First Strain” and “Trio”) follow the measure numbers provided by that edition. Each instrument follows its full-band part as often as possible, the only exception being Trombone covering the Euphonium/Baritone part. Because of this, Euphonium/Baritone would make a suitable substitute. These arrangements are intended for concert and ceremony alike, enabling brass players to enjoy and share one of their champions. |
