Sousa Legacy
This sparkling setting, still as fresh as any recent Broadway medley and never before available, includes the show's best-loved ballads, rollicking patter songs and the rousing finale. The music has been a continuous hit from its 1879 opening through today. Sousa's brilliant 1880 orchestration perfectly captures the happy-go-lucky spirit of Sullivan's show. In this first published edition, Sousa's superb and ever-timely Pirates medley has been adapted for modern bands by Keith Brion.
