Product Description

Using recycled material as well as Sailors Hornpipe, this march was premiered June 25th, 1903 in Londons Albert Hall by a massive group with the royal family in attendance. It features a boatswains whistle (or bosuns whistle or pipe), which Ive notated in approximate pitches in the Trumpet 1 part. I recommend purchasing an authentic one, as the unique sound is difficult to fake, and the spirit of this march is a distinct naval flavor. 

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/. Jack Tar was composed in 1903, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2018. The piece is catalogued as Volume 4, No. 62.
