Product Details


Product Description

The official U.S. Army song, commonly known as The Caissons Go Rolling Along or The Army Goes Rolling Along, predates John Philip Sousas version by several years. In 1917, Sousa composed The U.S. Field Artillery March containing the Caisson Songs melody as the basis for the marchs TRIO section.


This arrangement makes use of Sousas introduction, then remains faithful to his harmonic treatment and the flavors of the melody and accompaniments throughout. While each of the four parts do feature some small technical requirements, they remain at an intermediate level where even less-experienced players should be able to pull them off handily.


While originally scored here for SATB Saxophone quartet, a sub part to play the top line on Alto sax is also included.


This arrangement is a great vehicle to share some patriotic flair on your patriotic Saxophone quartet program!


Note: the live demo recording is made from a brass quintet version of this same basic arrangement.
