Oddly enow, this cylinder is just about at the start of cylinder records. The recording process is not up to the standards of 1900 even. Still, Sousa's band did a remarkable job. I say "band" because Sousa distrusted recorded or "canned" music and never conducted the band himself when they were to cut a record, but had a deputy do the work. STILL, he could never deny having WRITTEN the pieces .
Sousa's real name was So. Somebody confused his name with the destination tag's destination -USA- on his luggage, and signed him in as "Sousa". He adopted it ever since. Thankfully, the luggage did not read "Warranted Corrugated Leather" !
This is great. I came across this following a refeemece to John Philip Sousa in refeemece to the Beach Boys cover of Sloop John B. This is a great recording for the period it was recorded in.
Not only that, the United States Marine Band is an organization within the federal government of the United States, and therefore is not eligible to be copyrighted.
Don't worry about copyright issues. Due to the age of this work, it is in the public domain in the United States for several reasons. It has been more than 120 years since publication, and it is now more than 70 years after Sousa's 1932 death.
This is not 1890 as it is announced washington d.c at that time it would be for the north american phonograph company not columbia so this has to be from past 1893 unfortunately
My great grandfather Daniel Jeffers played the clarinet in the John Philip Sousa band.
It is a great honour to hear your great grandfather play.
WOAH! Thats really cool, do you still have his clarinet?
It's a rare treat to find a band recording from before 1891
1888 Edward Issler
A few test cylinders are from 1888,most of them never had a title😕
Its announced washington D.C so it has to be from after late 1893 sadly
Yes, I have only found very few from 1890
Incredible that such a good quality recording survives from 1890!
This quality is fantastic to be 1890!
I'm so glad I found this!!! ;-D
This has great historical value in both a recording and in photographs! Thanks and Happy 4th of July to all Americans.
Great video. A descendant of the Alford brothers of Alfordsville IN. All three lost their lives in defense of the Union.
Thanks for posting this!

Why didn't he trust the records?
@@unfabulousization I heard that he disliked them because he thought that they'll bring many musicians to be out of work.

Is this really made in 1890? The sound is a bit too good. Yet, I have zero idea about band recordings in general.
Yes Is from 1890
A very kind comment, thank you and Happy 4th!

Who's talking in the beginning?
Could be John Philip Sousa himself.
Lar M nope. has no similarity in voice to him
Sounds like the man who announces isslers orchestra could be len spencer or issler or a memeber of sousa's band
@@canman5060 Trombonist Arthur Pryor or cornetist Herbert Clarke usually directed the Sousa band in the recording studio during this period.
