The Lambs’ March
The Lambs’ March from The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa: Vol. 4

 

The Lambs March (1914)

   

For the 1914 gambol of the celebrated Lambs Club of New York, Sousa composed this march and “The Lambs’ Gambol” overture. He also accompanied a group of club members on a fund-raising tour of the major eastern cities. In each city he led a parade and apparently acted as musical director for their stage presentations.

Once again Sousa lived up to his reputation of not letting his music go to waste; much of “The Lambs’ March” was taken from his unsuccessful 1882 operetta, The Smugglers.
