Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Matthew Nunes. Chamber,Classical,Historic,March,Patriotic. 30 pages. Matthew Nunes Music #976437. Published by Matthew Nunes Music (A0.1393350).Written while Sousa directed the Navy bands at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center during World War I, and dedicated “To the U.S. Navy”. This march showcases Sousa’s skillful layering in both the Trio and Final Strain. In this arrangement Trumpet 1 goes up to high concert C’s briefly in the trio, and was unavoidable for clarity.
This Brass Quintet arrangement was made using “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band’s The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa score as found at https://www.marineband.marines.mil/Audio-Resources/The-Complete-Marches-of-John-Philip-Sousa/. Anchor and Star was composed in 1918, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2019. The piece is catalogued as Volume 5, No. 81.
Section titles (such as “First Strain” and “Trio”) follow the measure numbers provided by that edition. Each instrument follows its full-band part as often as possible, the only exception being Trombone covering the Euphonium/Baritone part. Because of this, Euphonium/Baritone would make a suitable substitute.
