[Machine Translation] From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, Sousa composed numerous marches and was called the "March King." In 1892, he founded the "Sousa Brass Band," which gave 3,500 concerts in its first seven years, boasting an unprecedented popularity. However, Sousa did not only write marches, but also made great achievements in the field of operettas. Featured in this 17th collection are a suite from "American Maid," set in a glass factory, and a quintet from "The Smugglers," which disappeared from the stage a few performances after its premiere. The disc also includes a march for the "Chicago Exposition" that uses Wagner's melody and the rare "Pan-American March," a piece full of rare pieces by Sousa that cannot be heard anywhere else.
