John Phillips Sousa - Seventy-Six Trombones

[BudmanPackfan]

from the musical "The Music Man" 25 years following Sousa's death...... sheesh.......

[ronwass]

Sorry, not even a military march. Broadway show. Sorry. Obviously based on Sousa though.

[OttarBerg]

Not by Sousa, but -- there is reference to Sousa's music

[wildh0rse]

Sousa?! Seventy Six Trombones?!!?!? Ok this is the fourth one of these Ive seen but this one is too much... Poster has IQ of "76". Also, this is a medley of march songs, by various composers.

[animeey]

i remeber this song we used to play it for fun in band

[joaomariarf]

He's the best john Phillip Souza

[zama1692]

uhmmm... yeahhh NOT john philip sousa because i was kinda in the musical.. twice..

[danimals2000]

Now, all we need is a song called "760 Tubas" and I would be happy.

[9598dad]

BEST... ROLLOFF... EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[psgchisolm]

wow this sounds like a collection of all my favorite marches :D

[Darylsmith4565]

its all about the tuba. thank you very much

[Qamila1]

Sousa's music always makes me happy!

[FAFALCON86]

00:01- 0:21 

[vampyboy94]

I have the music in front of me and it is wrote by Fred L. Frank so anything else yall would like??

[unluckylady282]

@vampyboy94 "Fred L. Frank" isn't even a real person! It's a pseudonym of Harold L. Walters, one of the most prolific arrangers and composers of American concert band music. He might have *arranged* the version of 76 Trombones you have in front of you, but he sure as hell didn't write it. It was written by Meredith Willson (yes, 2 "l"s) as part of The Music Man.

[vampyboy94]

OMG IM PLAYING THIS MARCH THIS YEAR HECK YEAH!!!!! I LOVE IT

[mikeok1234]

Although Sousa DID NOT right this march,,,The composer, Meredith Wilson, did play flute/piccolo in Sousa's band in the 1920s..

[w9awx1]

This song came out decades after Sousa was dead.

[snipersnake777]

a trombonist her, and fucking proud!

[winstonhallmusic]

JPS didnt write this song.

[Inuyasha4lif]

I'm a Trombone player..

BOW DOWN BEFOR MY F*CKING AWESOMNESS!!!!

[keiweak]

what a great tune.. i fell like blasting some ships with my battleship:P

[doginstine]

JPS died before 76 trombones was written. 

[amazing763]

"Let's get this straight. Everybody who writes marches is named John Philip Sousa, and everybody who write words is named Mark Twain or Will Rogers. Now you know."

--Mark Twain

[ronaldweasleyfan55]

I swear you're the most retarded youtuber. Even though you post national songs and various marches that everyone likes and is why you're popular you give sousa credit for all the marches. What the fuck. SOUSA DID NOT WRITE EVERY MARCH IN THE WORLD.

[hazlcha]

Willson was a picolo player, and actually was a member of Sousa's band. He regarding him very highly .. just watch The Music Man intro to the song.

[annepfeil08]

Merideth Willson. Not Sousa.

[PintSizedSlasherJr]

@annepfeil08 They sound equally as good, and even when I sing this song, I find myself accidentally changing to Stars and Stripes Forever when the picollo solo comes in.

[massieblock0602]

Im tryin to find the lyrics to 76 trombones. Any help??

[Whaler1965]

@massieblock0602 ....Just watch The Music Man? Or simply google "Music Man 76 Trombones Lyrics." Considering thats where the song is from, and not Sousa

[sylviekell]

zzaheir thinks Sousa wrote everything. This is a mix of Seventy-six trombones, and other music. BTW, Seventy-six trombones was written for the broadway musical "The Music Man."

[Katie5014]

Adoro esta marcha!! É mesmo o máximo e dá pica para tocar!! <3

'@

[higgme1ster]

If he's got to rip-off something, the piccolo riff from SaSF can't be topped.

[vitoko0702]

Es la mejor marcha que he escuchado en toda mi vida. La escuchaba siempre en la radio Portales..., y es el emblema de dicha emisora, acá en Chile.

[natedavis32]

Beautiful!!!

[MrLamontSanford]

To the ignoramuses here: this is a medley of Meredith Wilson's 76 Trombones AND JP Souza's Stars and Stripes Forever. The latter, btw, is the finest piece of music ever made. Also in this medley is EE Begly's Under the Double Eagle march, for just a moment.

[PeterJDeer]

@MrLamontSanford - Forgive me, I don't mean to call you out on this, but the National Emblem march is the Sousa march that was used, not Stars and Stripes forever. National Emblem has many similarities but is not the same march.

[MrLamontSanford]

@PeterJDeer Those two sound similar. But the National Emblem March was not Written by Sousa, nor was Under the Double Eagle, which was Austro-Hungarian. I also forget which one was composed by Begley -I 'll go look it up.

[PeterJDeer]

@MrLamontSanford - I looked it up, it was National Emblem that was done by Bagley. Apparently the reason it is commonly misconceived by people (myself included) to have been done by Sousa is because it was one of his favorite marches and the bands he conducted would often play it.

[hargath1]

@MrLamontSanford The part where you mention Under the Double Eagle, are you referring to "Nation Emblem March"? At 1:25 and at 2:00? I've played both and I don't hear Under the Double Eagle anywhere. It is by EE Begly though.

[MsRoyalTiger]

This is to good to have been composed by Sousa. All his music is good for is the Circus it was great for the clowns and the Lions. King of the March, King of the Krap more like!

[MrLamontSanford]

@MsRoyalTiger You will burn in everlasting hellfire for uttering such blasphemous and impious words against he who is so noble that you are not fit to even pronounce his name. JP Sousa -the greatest of all composers, you stinking pus-filled skunk!!!

[MsRoyalTiger]

@MrLamontSanford Oh! dear, my comment a bit too close to the truth for you was it? Should you not spell your name "Lament" after such a lamentable comment? Mr LamentSandford I like the sound of that!

[philipvanlidth]

@MsRoyalTiger You have a right to your opinion, but I find your expression of it distasteful and, quite frankly, offensive. There are quite a few musicians who find great merit in Sousa's marches, and you don't really have the right to denigrate their educated opinions. While I don't approve of MrLamontSanford's response to your opinion, I can understand his anger at your posting.

[jaj121159]

This is an old arrangement by the Boston Pops when Arthur Fiedler was the conductor. My mom had this on LP when I was a wee lad and now I'm 50, so it's been around along time.

[bellgirl94]

hey, geniuses, look at the download link. its says JOHN WILLIAMS WROTE THIS

!! to quote icarly, "what?? you don't believe me??" he mixed the familiar 76 trombones with pieces from a march (or marches...?) by sousa. so yes, plane15man, there IS the trio from the national anthem at 1:30!! and many other places!! it's genius really, it just takes some common sense to figure it out. thanks, zzahier, for putting this up! :)

[filmpjesfenix]

wou wat een muziek, en ik maar denken dat dit nummer van andré rieu was.

blijkt het van een super mooi verhaal te zijn.

groetjes van uit Nederland (holland)

[JamesTJoplin]

Meredith Wilson wrote this song! NOT, I repeat NOT, John Philip Sousa!

[plane15man]

wtf, the trio from national emblem at 1:30

[sagaunleashed]

trombone :D

[marcelcuypers]

well, i'm from holland and i don't think

[marcelcuypers]

well, i'm from holland and i don't think

[GameVlogsandMore]

That's what I'm talkin bout. Trombones FTW.

[TheOliviab1]

@GameVlogsandMore yes!!!

[stx9u]

Sousa may not have written this; but Meredith Willson, the true composer, did at age 19 play with Sousa's band. That was in 1921. He played flute and piccolo.

[k0smon]

@stx9u Wilson also said that when Sousa published one of his marches, he published a poor arrangement on purpose so that no other band would sound as good as his band did.

[ThePeplow]

What a wonderful man Sousa was - he composed this one some 20 years after his death in 1932. The Peplow

[Cruiserfrank]

Unfortunately, zzahier says EVERYTHING is a Sousa march. Good music, though.

[ballygo]

This sounds as if it might be the arrangement, of Meredith Willson's "76 Trombones", made by Leroy Anderson (composer of "Blue Tango" and "Sleigh Ride")

[ingledude]

This is not John Philip Sousa it's from the play The Music Man

[bbrannddX]

@ingledude Yes, with quotes of Sousa marches inserted. But MW definitely wrote '76 Trombones'. If you have a good ear, the chord changes are precisely the same as 'Good Night My Someone', except the latter is in 3/4 time. That's why it works so well in the musical when Marianne and Harold interpolate the two songs.

[mossletop]

I'm from iowa and that's meredith wilson's.

[DailyGossip4]

part of national emblem is in this song, not the oringinal the loras schissel version

[catclans1357]

yeah!!!! TROMBONE POWER!!

[ksteiger]

That's right. Its by Meredith Wilson. Everybody knows that Souza wrote "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Jeesh.

[artsavant]

@ksteiger

While we're at it, the middle name is Philip, as in John Philip Sousa. The "z" is silent.



[Hellfire918]

@ksteiger No it is actually by Meredith Wilson. Sousa died in 1932 at the age of 77. 76 Trombones wasn't around until 1957 when the Musical that it was written for "The Music Man"

[Matt123ttam]

i like how it goes into stars and stripes forever

[rougeleader302]

This sounds like this is a dedication of Sousa's work, not all are original but of his compositions

[FContreras85]

Radio Portales from Chile.

[IronGuardsman]

Its very good. But it is not actually by Sousa. It comes from the Musical "The Music Man."

It is good though, it reminds me of my Gap year.

[theUP844]

I agree with you, this is a good song I heard all the songs in the musical were composed by Meredith Wilson.

[PatrioticLionLeo]

That is true.  Perhaps Sousa adapted it.

[theUP844]

That's not possible. This was composed in the 1960's, John Phillip Sousa died in 1932 before this song was even written.

[PatrioticLionLeo]

Oops, sorry. I'm all confused over the whole thing. When I see Sousa, I tend to assume he has something to do with it, but not in this case.

[realar]

Other way around.
