John Philip Sousa--United States |
|
| You can find patriotic music in countries throughout the world. A great example in the U.S. is “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa. This music has a meter of 2 which is why it’s perfect for marching! As you listen, you’ll notice that Mr. Sousa liked to play with the dynamics—you’ll hear a section played softly and followed immediately at forte (loud). The piccolo countermelody (played above the familiar main theme) is one of the most exciting parts of this music. | |
