Product Description

The Thunderer (1889) is one of John Philip Sousa's most beloved marches. It is not known to what, or more likely to whom, the title refers. Paul E. Bierley suggests that since the work was dedicated the the Columbia Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, of Washington, D.C., and composed for its Twenty-fourth Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment, that the title may refer to Myron M. Parker, one of the principal masons responsible for the success of the conclave.(1)

Sousa is so universally loved, that it seems a shame to restrict his performance only to marching bands and concert bands.  Here "The Thunderer" is arranged for string quartet by Joel Jacklich (A.S.C.A.P.). Perfect for that next patriotic concert.
