Notes |
Glued to a heavy paper backing; apparently used for marching band. Composed in 1915. "One of twelve marches Sousa composed for various expositions or fairs, 'The Pathfinder of Panama' was dedicated to the Panama Canal and the Panama-Pacific Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1915. Sousa's Band played a nine-week engagement at the exposition. The march was composed at the request of Walter Anthony, a reporter for the 'San Francisco Call'. The Panama Canal was the pathfinder of Sousa's title; it shortened the ocean voyage between San Francisco and New York by 8,000 miles." The Works of John Philip Sousa pgs. 76-77 Paul E. Bierley Integrity Press 1984 Missing Solo Trumpet part. |
