“Dedicated to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, In memory of the brave who gave their lives, That Liberty shall not perishâ€. The Golden Star is a symbol of sacrifice for many families, and Sousa appropriately incorporates Taps.
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/. The Golden Star was composed in 1919, and the referenced edition was made Public Domain in 2019. The piece is catalogued as Volume 5, No. 90.
Section titles (such as “First Strain†and “Trioâ€) 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.
