The Banner, Op. 86

from Senior Recital by David Lee Grossman

/

about

This is a fanfare and march written for Independence Day 2013. The fanfare is harmonically more modern and is based on the motif from the march’s first strain, and the march is a traditional American March.

If you listen to a few marches written by American composers, you will almost guaranteed hear something written by the March King, John Philip Sousa. Although he wrote his marches for concert band and this piece is for brass band, the similarities between his works and this are very prevalent.

The march is one of the common traditional styles in brass and concert band music, and some of America’s most famous marches were either written for patriotic events or are engrained in our patriotic identity as standard concert repertoire. This is purely my own small contribution to a patriotic ideal and an ever-growing style started over 125 years ago by the March King himself.
