Video Pick Of The Week
John Philip Sousa better known as the ‘March King’ is the most famous American bandmaster, entertainer and composer of military marches.
He is best remembered for his marches, including the iconic
‘The Stars and Stripes Forever’ and ‘The Washington Post March’ but he also wrote many other musical pieces, including operettas, popular songs, waltzes and more, as well as seven books and many articles. In Celebration of Sousa’s 172nd Birthday on Sunday November 6th I would like to recommend the outstanding 1992 documentary If You Knew Sousa which explores the story of “march king” and the connections between his music and the mood of the nation during his time. The documentary is also a portrait of the rise of the small town marching band and Sousa’s influence through his compositions
