My Choice - John Philip Sousa: Washington Post March

"The Washington Post" is a patriotic march composed by John Philip Sousa in 1889. Since then, it has remained as one of his most popular marches throughout the United States and many countries abroad. We're showing scenery photos of the US and a few soldiers.

In 1889 owners of The Washington Post newspaper requested that John Philip Sousa, the leader of the United States Marine Corps Band, compose a march for the newspaper's essay contest awards ceremony. Sousa obliged; "The Washington Post March" was introduced at the ceremony on June 15, 1889, and it became quite popular.[1] It led to a British journalist dubbing Sousa "The March King." Sousa is honored in The Washington Post building for his contribution to the newspaper and his country.

@gfks11 I sent my reply to you Judie, instead of John :)) Grazie per i complimenti. Sousa era un grande compositore. Le sue marcie sono bellissime. Saluti.

THANK YOU!

@wildh0rse Thanks for your kind comment and info you gave us. Regards from Malta.

A wonderful choice, and a superb rendition. Brass heavy with that fat tuba and bright winds, pure American tempo. Many of these marches are played WAY too fast. 120 beats per minute, the american military regular march cadence, is the proper rendering and really brings out the magnificence of Sousa's dynamics.

Love to see and hear a good band. This is a beautiful rendition of the Washington Post March. Nice work on the photos. Fran

[ShirleyJean1000]

A really great march and one that our local band enjoys playing for parades and concerts.  Well chosen pictures Alfred. Thanks for posting this one.
