Description:
When one thinks of 'marches,' one almost automatically thinks of John Philip Sousa. Perhaps the greatest march writer of all time, he composed literally hundreds of these works. El Capitan ranks high in his list of classics. The first several strains are written in six-eight, and the last strains in two-four, giving a unique change of character. This scoring has reduced the technical difficulties while keeping the integrity of this well-known work. (2:21)
