  • sousa was not ahead of his time. for instance the final sequence of hail to the chief is the same lyric line as in the konigratezer march from 1866, sousa simply took out the embellishments of the prussian orioginal. thats why hail to the chief evokes ultranationalistic enthusiasm for the fuhrer er i mean the leader.

    if you compare you will agree.but that does not make it or the german oriinal evil. it is how art is used that makes it good or evil.

  • rbtmdl is correct - the music was written by James Sanderson, originally for Sir Walter Scott's "The Lady of the Lake". However, John Philip Sousa conducted it and caused it to be played like no other. :)

  • Gonna play this on my funeral :)

  • @acedx14 yes, that's it. I knew I had heard this before. (I'm from the Netherlands)

  • @acedx14 "My fellow Americans I did not have sexual relations with that woman, I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you"

  • @NickInfante92

    If we elect Cain for President, you can be sure that he will use that quote from Clinton to explain himself!!

  • @NickInfante92 I remeber that. When ah point mah finguh ah'm liein' my ass off.Well, William Jefferson Clinton didn't have sexual relations. A blow job is a venial sin- Vatican roulette. Depends upon how one parses it.

  • @Buzzmasterflash not at the rate he's going now...if he keeps going the way he currently is...he'll be a one-term wonder...thank God! He's just throwing a lot of crap at the American public and in ONE YEAR he raised the federal defecit by more than George W. Bush did in EIGHT YEARS! More jobs have been lost under Obama in ONE YEAR than under Bush in EIGHT YEARS!

  • @wasnhg I could not agree with you more obama is going to and is screwing this country over badly, not to metion he is pissing off the other coutries so hopefully he is out of there soon enough, he was just one big mistake. we are going to have a revolution and he is just making it come faster.

  • You know that John Phillip Sousa didn't write "Hail to the Chief" right?

  • Yeah, it was Sir Walter Scott and James Sanderson!

  • ty im from usa and im wondering....what do u think of this music?

  • Hi, I am in love with all patriotic music whether its American or any other But Sousa was a genius in making and conducting all his music.

  • Sousa was a genius and he was way ahead of his time. However, he did not write Hail to the Cheif, Entry of the Gladiators, Under the Double Eagle, American Patrol, Colonel Bogey, Off we Go into the Wild Blue Yonder, or I wish I was in the Land of Cotton. All of which you attribute to Sousa and some are not even American (Under the Double Eagle).

  • @rbtmdl

    Yes but he did recompose the tune to a lot of them, like hail to the chief.

  • @rbtmdl correct. Was written-words from Sir Walter Raleigh, by some self taught musician, Irish - in the 19th century. So thanks.

  • @zzahier As far as I'm aware 'Hail to the Chief' was written by James Sanderson, who was, ironically, English. Sousa did The Washington Post, Stars and Stripes Forever, Semper Fidelis etc - all excellent but he cant claim this one.

  • @88deco88 its good music but i cant find one with singing... on movie i heard with singing and it was awsome

  • Nice!
