Product Description

Dedicated to Secretary of State John Milton Hay, The Diplomat was apparently composed over one of the best tenderloin steaks Sousa ever had. It is one of a few Sousa marches where, with the right emphasis, a different character jumps off the page. It is also highly nuanced, for example the added hits in the repeat of the Final Strain. Special interest may be directed to the tuba part, which is incredibly active throughout. 

This Brass Quintet arrangement was made using The Presidents Own United States Marine Bands The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa score as found at https://www.marineband.marines.mil/Audio-Resources/The-Complete-Marches-of-John-Philip-Sousa/. The Diplomat was composed in 1904, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2018. The piece is catalogued as Volume 4, No. 63.
