Semper Fidelis: Music of John Philip Sousa - Disc on Demand - US Marine Band
* You may also purchase individual songs as MP3 downloads below
John Philip Sousa got his humble beginning in the band world as Marine, so it is appropriate that this tribute to his work and service be title Semper Fidelis. The world will long remember John Philip Sousa as the March King, which would not be possible without the opportunities afforded him by the United States Marine Band. Sousas performances of his own music were very unique, which created the Sousa Sound. The Marine Band has been recording this sound and Sousas music since late 1800s, when Sousa was actually the director of the band. This album however, directed by Colonel John Bourgeois, is nothing short of a masterpiece and would have decidedly made John Philip Sousa proud. Tracks on this album include some of Sousas most famous marches including King Cotton and Whos Who in Navy Blue. Although Sousa has since passed, his legacy lives on with The Presidents Own United States Marine Band and on this album, Semper Fidelis. John R. Pastin For Composers and Liner Notes
