A composer of operettas, overtures, suites, dances, and songs, as well as a novelist and prolific editorialist, John Philip Sousa is best remembered today for his more than 130 marches. It is a relief that now, more than seven decades after the composer's death, we can finally experience so many of these important pieces in one set of historic recordings, Sousa Marches Played by the Sousa Band: The Complete Commercial Recordings.
