THE SALVATION ARMY (1930)

Commander Evangeline Booth, daughter of William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, asked Sousa to compose this march, and it was to her that he dedicated it. It received its premiere on May 16, 1930, at a pageant in New York celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Salvation Army in the United States. Sousa conducted the massed bands. In this march he had incorporated the Salvationists’ favourite hymn, “O Boundless Salvation,” and when these strains were played the surprised audience broke into enthusiastic applause.

This march is featured on today's show played by the Amsterdam Staff Band conducted by Howard Evans. The march written by Sousa has been arranged for brass bands by Ray Steadman-Allen.
