- "The President's Own" United States Marine Band presents The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa, a multi-year project to record and publish scores for all of Sousa's Marches. Sousa, known as "The March King," was director of the Marine Band from 1880 to 1892. Recording directed by Col. Jason K. Fettig. www.marineband.marines.mil/
When played for the first time by Sousa’s Band in Philadelphia’s Academy of Music on April 21, 1899, “many feet were beating a tattoo.” The band was obliged to repeat it three times. “Hands Across the Sea” was off to a good start, and it has since remained a standard in band literature.
The march was addressed to no particular nation, but to all of America’s friends abroad. It has been suggested that Sousa was inspired by an incident in the Spanish-American War, in which Captain Chichester of the British Navy came to the support of Admiral Dewey at Manila Bay. A second (and more likely) source is a line by Frere, which was printed on the front cover of the sheet music: “A sudden thought strikes me-let us swear an eternal friendship.”
The line by Frere apparently appeared in a play which Sousa read. In answering questions sent to him while serving in the navy, he gave this account in the Great Lakes Recruit of March, 1918:
After the Spanish war there was some feeling in Europe anent our republic regarding this war. Some of the nations...thought we were not justified while others gave us credit for the honesty of our purpose. One night I was reading an old play and I came across this line, “A sudden thought strikes me,-let us swear an eternal friendship.” That almost immediately suggested the title “Hands Across the Sea” for that composition and within a few weeks that now famous march became a living fact.

I whistle this in public sometimes. People stare at me like I'm a nutcase. Can't help it, I played the euphonium in bands and orchestras all over the u.s. for 17 years and Souza marches have burrowed so deeply into the crevasses in my brain that they have become earworms. Pity me, o fans of band music, Souza wrote 138 marches...
@@Billy219 agreed. But woe unto the poor schmuck who, like me, has them all competing against each other for play time inside my head ...😁
Word
As a fellow Euph player, I love this song. I played it in my junior year of high school and I loved this.
@@Lamp-In-The-Dark sousa never fails to deliver. There is another one called 'on parade' which I'd recommend which you might also like. If you're really a glutton for punishment listen to karl king's " the melody shop"...
I’m in jh band and we’re playing this with 3 other pieces at our concert
Sousa marches are good for setting a pace for a nice, brisk walk.
theBaron0530 -Especially ones through Japan or Germany-
OR when youre sailing....sailing to kick Spain out of the Phillipines
Thats... the point
It's about a marching band
Also cpr
I really like this, I listen to it over and over again
One of Sousa's all time greatest hits.
Une version de référence sans doute. On entend bien toutes les parties. Bravo au pupitre des percussions très équilibré, vraiment. discret quand il le faut, et présent aussi au bon moment.
Sousa marches are perfect when watching fireworks
저는 1971년 생 남성 입니다. 제가 고등 학교 다닐 때, 학교에 밴드부가 있었습니다. 남자 음악 선생님이 지도 하셨는데요. 금관 악기와 타악기로 구성 된 밴드부였습니다. 도 대회도 나가서 은상을 받은 게 떠오릅니다. 저는 음악을 잘 몰라서 밴드부에 들어가지도 못했습니다. 매 월 마지막 목요일 6 ~ 8교시는 학교 밴드부가 정기 공연을 했습니다. 학교 대 강당에 전 교직원과 전교생이 다 모여서 관전 했습니다. 칠판에 연주 할 곡명과 가수, 작곡자를 순서대로 써놔서, 그 당시 이 곡이 무슨 곡인지 알수 있었습니다. 가요, 팝송,클래식, 행진곡, 가곡, 동요, 건전 가요, 군가, 민요 그리고 독실한 크리스천 이셨던 밴드부 선생님이 찬송가도 연주 하게하신 겁니다. 당시 3년간 제일 많이 연주 된 곡이 바로 이 Hand across the sea 라는 곡 입니다. 어릴 때는 근처에 공군 부대 (평택)가 있어서 가끔 훈련이 걸리면 각종 군악대의 행진곡이 나온 겁니다. 70년대 중반 ~ 80년대 중반 인데요, 그 때도 제일 많이 들은 곡이 바로 이 Hand across the sea 입니다.
Ping-pong-pow, ting-tung-tow!
March Mania 2021 Champion!
I love the dog fight, i play trombone and i get to play that in the band its amazing
This one's in my top 5 Sousa marches.....great stuff!!
my fav song by Sousa ever :D
Kyoto Tachibani won the gold metal of 34th Japan national marching band contest by playing this song.
been trying to find a video of this! mind putting link here?? Only found the one with the compilation of all the gold medal winners, and the performances were cut short =(
In light of what's going on, it should be titled "Elbow Bumps Across the Sea."
Angela Scheu no
"Great White Fleet" more like "Great White Fleet with Red Crosses"
We don’t really benefit from NATO as much as we did in the past
bro sousa said lets make this piece slap
Apparently when this piece was first composed the audience demanded they play it another three times.
My affirmations include ‘safety’ I am so pleased you included it.
Peace, safety, encouragement for others.
‘ A rising tide raises all ships’
May everyone who visits you, on whatever platform be part of the tide that raises others up, in their home, their neighborhood or across the ocean.
Love and light to all.
just wrote an essay on this. feeling good
Probably my favorite Sousa march, but yet again, all of them are great! But this one, in my opinion, has the best piccolo obbligato.
There is a minimum volume level for Sousa's marches.
I'm gonna need about three more fortes
those are rookie numbers
Nah, The President’s Own paves the way for how these marches should be played
No, there isn't.
Ya'll need a tuba that goes to eleven.
Hi usmb this is my fav Sousa March and also today is my birthday so if you could wish me a happy bday it would make my day
We played this piece in my high school concert band. Funny thing is, we played it in a different key! I tried to play along but found that it sounded really weird
I love drumming this on the practice pad
I'm also a drummer
Cool
@@keyaandonnell7975 Ah. I see. A like minded individual.
i love practicing the clarinet fingerings in my math class
@@itstotesmelirn1725 I love doing that in all my classes
love this song and its very fun to play lots of tonguing for the trumpet side though
one of sousa's more popular marches especially with overseas bands...ha
Username checks out
Hey, a fellow Sousa Fan too!
@@JustANervousWreck welcome :)
best song i am in the Bb 1st clarinet
I agree I’m advanced percussionist
when you play the piano and play all the parts:
This song came on in the background as I was cleaning my Argentine 1891 Mauser and the Argentine acceptance mark of two clasping hands seems fitting to go along with this song.
This song is named "The Slayer of Chops" for our french horn section.
*THE UM'PAHS ARE TOO STRONG*
Absolutely not !!!
Well my band teacher is a retired Marine Corps Trumpet player so he probably played this
imagine having to write a essay on it lol
I am. (courtesy of my band director)
Bad band director, BAD!
Leave the students to play and write music. ; )
Ahhh Good old 1899 when i was already dead type music :)
I love this song but man it’s hard to play 😅
A euphonium player’s worst nightmare
Worst nightmare, regarding learning it, but I was so surprised I remembered every note just "vocalizing" or ("tongueing" in that case with some vocals) to it. I didn't hear it in like 3-5 years now. I'm literally still off-book! Might have to take a few runs on my Euphonium with the finger technique, but I'm sure I can nail it again.
Was hoping they'd have the solo cymbal crash in the breakstrain in 1:57 :(
Alas, it’s not in the original part.
Ah, i see. The Skrillex of his time.
Ukraїnian congratulations to the whole planet) You can treat the USA differently ... but Souza is really a strong composer in his profile. One of his best marches the planet has received.
" 'Hands Across the Sea' was written simply as an expression of friendship and good feeling toward all those people of foreign lands who regard us [USA] so favorably. " -John Philip Sousa
Who is here for March mania
