Product Description

Woodrow Wilsons speech at the 25th anniversary of the Daughters of the American Revolution provided the inspiration and title. The march contains original material as well as fragments of Dixie, Maryland, My Maryland, Were Off to Philadelphia in the Morning, and Yankee Doodle.

Sousa wrote two uncharacteristic moments here: giving the Horns the melody in the Trios second half, as well as the tuba feature in the interlude.

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/. America First was composed in 1916, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2018. The piece is catalogued as Volume 4, No. 74.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
