Edmund L. Gruber's The Caissons Go Rolling Along was written in the early 1900's and was later adopted as the official song of the United States Army.   Our arrangement of this presents the song twice. The first time it is presented in a transcription that is quite faithful to a 1921 publication of the song. The second time it is presented in a big band swing style.   This arrangement is suitable for use in informal Fourth of July festivities. Arranged for brass quintet (two Bb trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba). Performance time is approximately 1:40.

SKU: A0.1362979

Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Matthew Nunes. Chamber,Classical,Historic,March,Patriotic. 24 pages. Matthew Nunes Music #947363. Published by Matthew Nunes Music (A0.1362979).

Using a 1908 artillery song known as The Caisson Song, The Caissons Go Rolling Along, or The Field Artillery Song by Lieutenant Edmund L. Gruber, this march is one of Sousa’s finest homages to the Army. 

This Brass Quintet arrangement was made using “The President’s Own� United States Marine Band’s The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa score as found at https://www.marineband.marines.mil/Audio-Resources/The-Complete-Marches-of-John-Philip-Sousa/. U.S. Field Artillery was composed in 1917, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2019. The piece is catalogued as Volume 5, No. 78.

Section titles (such as “First Strain� and “Trio�) follow the measure numbers provided by that edition. Each instrument follows its full-band part as often as possible, the only exception being Trombone covering the Euphonium/Baritone part. Because of this, Euphonium/Baritone would make a suitable substitute.
