Project Overview
Enhance your musical knowledge by exploring musical images and original recordings. Through the use of the Library of Congress Website, engage in a variety of recordings, sift through manuscript music and view the actual posters, flyers and programs from over one hundred years ago! John Philip Sousa is one of the greatest figures in American music history. What types of bands did he direct? What did the bands look like? What music did they play? How did he and other bands communicate to their audiences?
