Old Ironsides was composed in 1926, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2020. The piece is catalogued as Volume 6, No. 104.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.
