Program Details

Hands Across the Sea is a military march composed in 1899 by John Philip Sousa. Sousa wrote much patriotic band music, but he also wrote works which, while still having nationalistic and patriotic ties, are of a more idealistic cast. Such was the case with Hands Across the Sea, composed to buoy America's role in maintaining world peace in the post-Spanish-American War era. He prefaced the score to this march with a quotation from an English diplomat, John Hookham Frere: "A sudden thought strikes me—let us swear an eternal friendship." Hands Across the Sea remains as one of Sousa's more popular marches.
