The Children’s Ball
Composers:- Sousa, John Philip
- Schissel, Loras John
Duration: 4
Description:
Sousa wrote much more than marches, of which this lesser-known work is a fine example. It is from a suite entitled Camera Studies – Music for an Imaginary Film. Though not strictly a march in terms of tempo and form, The Children’s Ball certainly has a light and dancelike character, with solo and soli passages for clarinet, alto saxophone and euphonium, along with some fancy mallet work for the xylophone. This premiere edition for the modern concert band was prepared by the Library of Congress senior musicologist and foremost Sousa scholar, Loras John Schissel.
