National Emblem March

E.E. Bagley seems to be inspired by (south) German Army marches, which he might have learned to know during his time with the Germania band in Boston. You can hear the influence of German A r m y band music from 1:46 on - it's obviously! In Germany we divide into two categories of marches: Army (military) marches and concert marches. National Emblem is the ONLY American march I know, which really reminds me of our ARMY marches! Greetings from Germany!

Who would have thought that it's first title was -"Monkey's Wrapping tails around the flagpole" would become our National Emblem March.

I love 1:46. I graduated from recruit training two weeks ago. They played this when the colors were retired. Such a great piece.

[WebkinzModelz13]

1:46 is the best part! The marching band I'm in plays this song starting at the Trio which is the tune at 1:46, I love it!! :)

[TBMfan92]

1:46 wasn't Big enough >=/ Can you say blow brass?

[PokeyGreen]

EYES---RIGHT!

[Chazzbass13]

1:45 absolute genius

[canepazzoTannen84]

This music recalls me a precise quote:

Pinkley: [impersonating a General] Where are you from, son?

Soldier: Madison City, Missouri, sir!

Pinkley: Never heard of it.

[MayDog961]

@canepazzoTannen84 To me too, Loved the Dirty Dozen, on my DVR at home, cant wait to watch it! Was on AMC over Memorial Day Weekend. Along with many others!

[Drake0020able]

2000TA be right,

Viele grüße aus Germany!!!!

[Shadow3329]

I simply love this march however there was absolutely no contrasting dynamics in this performance, didn't mean to sound pretentious...

[DukeOfBlighty]

[bentioshaza234]

[bentioshaza234]

[SnipeHear1]

Euphonium's didn't hit the High High B flat in this recording? Whaaaat?! I am not impressed by that, since I hit it and I play Euphonium. Still, it's a good march.

[tacoscreamsam]

@SnipeHear1 I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!

[storkie1]

@SnipeHear1 lol but the high B flat is a bitch to hit well at least it is in my humble opinion

[strangefoods]

My Band Class Is playing this; It is such agreat song.

[basterd84]

Great March, sounds a little bit like an Austrian-Military-March.

[2000TA]

From 1:46 on is awesome! I love it when our band (The USAF Band) plays it during our lawn ceremonies. Always gets me excited to be there to do that mission.

@2000TA TRIO

[bc381900]

@2000TA I'm a Navy vet and it always reminds me of going to sea. It kind of has a nautical sound to it at 2:04 . I love it nonetheless.

[Hiraghm]

@2000TA - Gotta admit... from 01:46 on, it's better than the Imperial March from Star Wars :)

[youngdre95]

we played this today in band class

[Disques13Swing]

Part 1;

The National Emblem Marchh was written in 1902 by Edwin Eugene Bagley from New Hampshire. He wasn't satisfied with it and made a number of revisions to it over the next five years before getting it published as sheet music. The tune caught on with brass bands all over the USA and miliraty bands started playing it. John phillip Sousa called it one of the five best marches ever written and his Marine Corps band played it regularly. In 1918 some now-forgotten soldier made up a lyric...

[Disques13Swing]

Part 1A;

The lyrics to the second section of this march became an instant hit with American troops during WW1. As Bagley lived until 1922, I'm sure he heard them but I'm not so sure he approved of them. At one time nearly every American serviceman could sing the first verse, but no one in today's military knows the words any longer even if the music is still familiar. Here We Go!!!

Oh, the monkey wrapped his tail.

Around the flag pole.

To let the wind blow

.

Right up his hole...

[moidixmoischild]

I forgot how fast the song really was O: but man it's fun to play xD

[Myles0Harcourt]

I like this one very much!
