John Philip Sousa
Written in F major, range F3 to F5
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.
