About this arrangement

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1392366 Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP). Holiday,March,Patriotic. 28 pages. Joel Jacklich #975894. Published by Joel Jacklich (A0.1392366). The Thunderer (1889) is one of John Philip Sousa's most beloved marches. It is not known to what, or more likely to whom, the title refers. Paul E. Bierley suggests that since the work was dedicated the the Columbia Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, of Washington, D.C., and composed for its Twenty-fourth Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment, that the title may refer to Myron M. Parker, one of the principal men responsible for the success of the conclave.(1) Sousa is so universally loved, that it seems a shame to restrict his performance only to marching bands and concert bands. Here "The Thunderer" is arranged for string orchestra by Joel Jacklich (A.S.C.A.P.). Perfect for that next patriotic concert. (1)Paul E.
