John Philip Sousa: The Stars and Stripes Forever. Piano 6 hands

John Philip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" 🇺🇸 was designated as the National March of the United States by an act of Congress in 1987. 🏛️ Sousa composed this iconic piece on Christmas Day 🎄 in 1896 while on a ship returning from a European vacation. 🚢 He claimed that the complete musical idea came to him all at once, 💡 and he quickly wrote it down when he returned to the United States. ✍️ The piece has since become a staple of American patriotic music, 🎶 often played at Fourth of July celebrations 🇺🇸🎆 and other patriotic events.

Did you know it has been arranged for six hands on one piano? 🎹 This unique and challenging arrangement allows three pianists to perform simultaneously on a single piano, 👨‍🎤👩‍🎤👨‍🎤 creating a rich and dynamic rendition of Sousa’s iconic composition. 🎵

Pianists: @DorisGameiro , José Antonio Cubela and Svetlana Bakushina. Performed at the Algarve Costume Museum, Portugal, 11th of June, 2022 🎹 Arranged for one piano six hands by Greg Anderson 🌕
