El Capitan

This large quarto-size edition offers Sousa's music greater clarity of content and affords the performance a broader realm of the traditional symbols of expression not easily incorporated into its original format. There is an enduring quality in this music. And while those who listen today may be a public in metamorphosis, the simple truth and compelling pleasure of Sousa's music is there for those who wish to hear it.
