SKU: A0.1192838
Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Adrian Horn. March. Brass Band. 73 pages. AJH Brass #792292. Published by AJH Brass (A0.1192838).‘The Free Lance’ march uses themes taken from Sousa’s operetta of the same name. As there were so many march tunes within his operetta, Sousa tried to include them all within this march, thus giving it a longer and more unusual construction than found in most of his marches.
The trio of the march is the song ‘On To Victory’ from the operetta. A name under which the march has also been published at various times.
The operetta itself is about Sigmund Lump, a mercenary who hired himself out as leader to two opposing armies. He manoeuvred both armies so that neither could win, eventually declaring himself as emperor of both nations!
This arrangement is for British style Brass Band, and the download includes a full score and set of parts.
