About this Album
Few composers have captured the American spirit in such a profound and lasting way as John Philip Sousa, with his unabashedly tuneful, patriotic works providing a musical backdrop to nearly 60 years of US history and crafting a uniquely American orchestral aesthetic. His most famous marches are featured here, including “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “The Washington Post.”
