TOOT SUITE
In the late 19th century John Phillip Souza was THE MAN who started and championed an entire new genre of music and instrumentation called American military and patriotic marches. Because he was a master of ‘march’ composition and composed some of the most lasting songs in history like Stars and Stripes Forever, Semper Fidelis, The Liberty Bell and many others, I decided to celebrate him in ‘Toot Suite’ which features the bells from 19 wind instruments on a large gong then framed by a 19th century Art Nouveau hall tree.
