Summary:
Though composer, arranger, and conductor John Philip Sousa is best known for his marches, his oeuvre also includes many songs, dances, overtures, suites, fantasies, and operettas, among others. The collection consists largely of holograph full scores for band and orchestra, but there are also some parts, sketches, and printed scores, as well as works by other composers. The business papers document the operations of John Philip Sousa, Inc., primarily after his death. The collection also includes photographs, book drafts, and miscellaneous items featuring Sousa and The Sousa Band.
