Description

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) wrote music in a variety of styles and was particularly adept at dance music, which, of course, was the original purpose of the march. The Gliding Girl is a tango, and its relaxed tempo and style will provide an effective contrast to his standard marches. This present edition by Loras John Schissel was prepared using Sousa's holograph wind band score, copyist parts for Sousa's own orchestral edition, and his personal taped interviews of over sixty former musicians of Sousa's concert band regarding the composer's own unique interpretation of this work.

Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(4-5): Hp(opt): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
