Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Matthew Nunes. Chamber,Classical,Historic,March,Patriotic. 28 pages. Matthew Nunes Music #1037171. Published by Matthew Nunes Music (A0.1458194).Nearly lost, this march honors the Volunteers of the U.S. Army Ambulance Corps. It relies upon melodies from the musical Good-Bye Bill, written by USAACs William B. Kernell and Richard Fechheimer. Quite a difficult one to arrange, as the melodies and original band version were not by Sousa.
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/. USAAC March was composed in 1918, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2019. The piece is catalogued as Volume 5, No. 87.
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.
