  • John Philip Sousa Critiques Modern Music, 1930 Introduction Questions
    1 John Philip Sousa critiques modern music, 1930 Introduction John Philip Sousa (1854–1932), an American composer of classical music, served as the director of the United States Marine Band from 1880 to 1892. During Sousa’s time as leader of “The President’s Own,” as the band was called, he composed some of the best- known pieces of music closely associated with official functions of the United States government and military. These include the famous march “The Washington Post” as well as the equally well-known official march of the United States Marine Corps, “Semper Fidelis,” and the official march of the United States, “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” In this letter written just two years prior to his death, Sousa declared that the only true measure of the value of music was its beauty. For Sousa, music was inspired from “something above,” and the music of the 1920s was devoid of divine character. Questions for Discussion Read the Introduction and the document and then apply your knowledge of American history to answer the questions which follow. NOTE: A helpful resource can be online websites which can provide samples of Sousa’s music as well as a variety of the popular music of the 1920s. 1. Sousa was a well-respected composer of what is often referred to as military music. Compare the tempo and tunes of his most famous works with popular tunes from the 1920s that conformed to styles such as jazz, ragtime, Broadway show tunes, or blues. 2. To what extent is Sousa’s letter an example of a person who feels that “time has passed him by”? 3.

  • Us Marines, Manhood, and American Culture, 1914-1924
    THE GLOBE AND ANCHOR MEN: U.S. MARINES, MANHOOD, AND AMERICAN CULTURE, 1914-1924 by MARK RYLAND FOLSE ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR DANIEL RICHES LISA DORR JOHN BEELER BETH BAILEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Mark Ryland Folse 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that between 1914 and 1924, U.S. Marines made manhood central to the communication of their image and culture, a strategy that underpinned the Corps’ effort to attract recruits from society and acquire funding from Congress. White manhood informed much of the Marines’ collective identity, which they believed set them apart from the other services. Interest in World War I, the campaigns in Hispaniola, and the development of amphibious warfare doctrine have made the Marine Corps during this period the focus of traditional military history. These histories often neglect a vital component of the Marine historical narrative: the ways Marines used masculinity and race to form positive connections with American society. For the Great War-era Marine Corps, those connections came from their claims to make good men out of America’s white youngsters. This project, therefore, fits with and expands the broader scholarly movement to put matters of race and gender at the center of military history. It was along the lines of manhood that Marines were judged by society. In France, Marines came to represent all that was good and strong in American men.

  • New Chairman of JCS Visits Pacific a Marine, the Confidence We Have in Our Corps, Our Faith in Each Other These Are the Strengths of Our Corps
    HAWAI I MarineServing MCAS Kaneohe Bay, MEB, Camp N.M. Smith Vol. 22 No. 44 lit and Marine Barracks. November 11, 1993 Commandant of the Marine Corps' policy on minorities (Editor's note: The following reprinted from ALMAR 311/93 dated Nov. 4, 1993.) This is a message for Marines, for the sailors that serve with us, for our civilian Marines, and for the families of our Corps. It is my means of communicating to each of you. Last Sunday, the television program "60 Minutes" presented a segment on the general subject of minority officers in the Marine Corps. Many of you are concerned about remarks that I made, and I understand your concern. Those remarks represented lees than 90 seconds edited from a two hour on-camera inter view. I want to clearly, and without editing, state Marine Corps policy and direction with regard to minorities in our Corps, and I want all of you to understand that this is not just Marine Corps policy, it is my policy as well ... both as an individual and as your Commandant. Every Marine that wears the uniform, every sailor that serves with us, and every civilian that is employed by our Corps, has an equal opportunity to compete, to develop to his or her potential, and to move ahead in our Corps. This is the reality that we strive for each and every day in our Corps. I am fully aware that our numbers of minority officers are not where we want them to be, even though we have made progress toward the goal of achieving an officer corps that more accurately resembles the racial and ethnic diversity of our great country.

  • Semper Fidelis March Sousa, John Philip
    Semper Fidelis March Sousa, John Philip Semper Fidelis March by: John Philip Sousa Original Copyright: 1888 By: Carl Fischer BandMusic PDF Library Chester Nettrower Collection Music Committee Members Tom Pechnik, Senior Archivist; Mary Phillips; Wayne Dydo; Bill Park, Director North Royalton, Ohio www.bandmusicpdf.org John Philip Sousa DOB: November 6th, 1854 (Washington, DC) DOD: March 6th, 1932 (Reading, PA) John Philip Sousa wrote the most famous American military marches of all time, including "Stars and Stripes Forever," earning him the nickname "the March King"; he was also known as a great bandleader, and organized the famed concert and military group, Sousa's Band. Born in Washington, D.C., on November 6, 1854, Sousa followed in the footsteps of his father, a musician in the U.S. Marine Corps, and enlisted by the age of 14. Before this, Sousa had studied violin with John Esputa. While active in the Marines, he composed his first march, "Salutation." Around the age of 16, Sousa began studying harmony with G.F. Benkert, then worked as a pit orchestra conductor at a local theater, followed by jobs as first chair violinist at the Ford Opera House, the Philadelphia Chestnut Street Theater, and later led the U.S. Marine Corps Band (1880- 1992). Although most famous for his marches, Sousa composed in other styles as well, including a waltz, "Moonlight on the Potomac"; a gallop, "The Cuckoo" (both in 1869); the oratorio "Messiah of the Nations" (1914); and scores for Broadway musicals The Smugglers (1879), Desiree (1884), The Glass Blowers (1893), El Capitan (1896; which was his first real scoring success), American Maid (1913), and more.
