Product Description

Other than the fact that Sousas thunderer was undoubtedly a Mason, his identity may never be revealed. The Thunderer march was dedicated to Columbia Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, of Washington, D.C., and it was composed on the occasion of the Twenty-fourth Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment. The conclave was held in October 1889 and was sponsored by Columbia Commandery No. 2. Sousa had been knighted in that organization three years earlier.

The Thunderer was Mrs. John Philip Sousas favorite march. This was revealed by their daughter Helen, who also surmised that the thunderer might have been her fathers salute to the London Times, which was known as the thunderer. It has since been determined that Sousa probably had no association with the newspaper at that time, however. The thunderer might have been one of the men in charge of making arrangements for the 1889 conclavein particular, Myron M. Parker, who worked tirelessly to make the event the spectacular success that it was.

This version has been arranged for orchestra with a little something in the trio!
