Enrich your repertoire with this lively, intermediate arrangement for woodwind quartet of John Philip Sousa's iconic march, "The Washington Post"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. Sousa's iconic American march is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, patriotic concerts, Americana events, Pops concerts, or background dinner music gigs. This short, engaging piece can break up a long program and give listeners a brief break from some of the heavier pieces.
This arrangement was written for advanced high school ensembles, college groups, amateur ensembles, and professional quartets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet in lieu of a missing bassoon. This classic American march, named after the venerable newspaper, is a patriotic favorite and will evoke memories of beloved American pastimes for your audiences. Originally scored for a full concert band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting of a classic Sousa American march for winds.
