He originally titled it "Grande Marche Chromatique", reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire. Generally, the march is divided into three parts. The first part contains the melody that the trumpet keeps and the several supporting parts. The second part is the section where the low brass (mainly the tubas) take over with the chromatic scale-like role. Finally there is a trio, or a softer melodic section, where there is a strong balance between woodwinds and low brass. The trio has a part similar to the second part with a chromatic scale-like sound. The piece is written in cut time and is originally written to be played at standard march tempo, but when played as a screamer it is usually played much faster. x7FD9PNpfpo john-philip-sousa-the-liberty-bell-1893 John Philip Sousa | The Liberty Bell (1893) "The Liberty Bell" (1893) is an American military march composed by John Philip Sousa. oOTpQpoHHaw erik-satie-gnossienne-1-1893 Erik Satie | Gnossienne 1 (1893) The Gnossiennes are several piano compositions by the French composer Erik Satie in the late 19th century.
