 The Clarinetists of the John Philip Sousa Band: 1892-1931

Hi,

I was looking in the Florida State University theses and dissertation holds and ran across this treatise from 2006 for the DMA. It's really interesting and as you read along, there are wonderful notes on the Sousa Band as well as others of the time.

Here is the link to get you started.

It's free BTW.

The author of the dissertation, Jesse Krebs, has made an avocation of writing about clarinet history. His article about about a 19th-century British Army bandmaster appears in the latest issue of The Clarinet.

In two painstakingly researched books, Paul E. Bierley documented the history of Sousa's band. In one, Bierely lists most of the players for the roughly 40 years the band was together.

And the tradition continues. I have heard all of the US service bands and to my ear, the clarinetist's of the President's Own US Marine Band are still the best. That is NOT to say that the others are not good--if fact, they are all great sections. It is just that I am always soooo impressed with the Marines total ensemble, section work, blend of sound and techical fire. They just seem to always play as one and make it sound so easy. Good for you, Mr. Sousa, for getting it all started.
