John Philip Sousa
In E major, range E2 to E4
Sousa said this march began playing in his head on Christmas Day 1896, on a ship bringing him home from Europe, like a band he could hear but not see, and he wrote it down when he landed. In 1987 it became the official national march of the United States.
