lowdown Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Maybe this should be in theory ? Might only appeal to a very few, but the "The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa" are available for free. Three albums/Volumes for download, plus all the scores in PDF and Scrolling Scores. Excellent for studying scoring and arranging.

[/quote] Indeed; thanks for posting. The pdf's have to be downloaded one by one; the mp3 files can be had as albums. Just for kicks, here's a extract from one of the pdf's...

A lonely sixteen bars to get it wrong before his sidekick comes roaring in at ff to save the day. I wonder what is happening in the forty bars before ? I was going to say, possibly tacet. But, the racket of twenty pairs of marching military boots is hardly a tacet. Edited June 23, 2017 by lowdown Quote

TorturedSaints Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Thanks for posting! Many happy hours spent playing his marches in my formative years with a symphonic/marching band Some cracking themes and counterpoint/descant parts. Not always easy to play. Edited July 5, 2017 by RalphDWilson Quote
