The Liberty Bell brass quintet

Sousa wrote this in 1893 as part of an operetta on commission. But he and the customer couldn't agree on a price -- Sousa wanted $1,500, and the customer wouldn't go higher than $1,000 -- so Sousa walked. A march from the operetta became "The Liberty Bell." It's probably best known now as the theme song from "Monty Python's Flying Circus," pressed on the British comedy group by its only American member for reasons that are too arcane to go into or even understand.
Special thanks to the U.S. Marine Corps Band, "The President's Own," for their fine transcriptions of Sousa's entire output (and there's a great deal of it), and for making the music available to bands everywhere.
Score and parts are available for a modest price at halleonard.com. Search on my name (Will Corbin) for the entire collection.
