With another Independence Day on the horizon, Twentieth Century Nicoville is proud to once again celebrate this joyous occasion. This is a day of celebrating the United States of America and its spirit of independence and freedom. Though not the best nor the most perfect country in the world, there is no other country quite like this one. For this years celebration, TCN decides to tackle an AMV idea that has been in the backburner for several years. It is one of the first AMVs to be produced privately back in the 2010s, and after 10 years of editing, experimentation, and idea taunting, it is finally complete.
The Stars and Stripes Forever is a military march composed by the late great American composer, John Philip Sousa, America’s march king. He defined a short era of America patriotism that stretched from the 1880s-1910s in a fashion that made him the modern American pop celebrity of his time, back when pop music still meant something. His most endearing work is this march which was composed in the 1890s after a brief vacation in Europe was halted when his manager died. He hopped on board the next ship back home to New York and on those decks, he recalled the flag waving at the white house during his time as leader of the Marine Band and wished to travel home. In the words of Sousa himself in his autobiography, “Marching Along”,
“Suddenly, I began to sense a rhythmic beat of a band playing within my brain. Throughout the whole tense voyage, that imaginary band continued to unfold the same themes, echoing and re-echoing the most distinct melody”.
When he arrived home, he wrote down the music and completed it by Christmas of 1896. It premiered at Willow Grove Park, just outside Philadelphia, on May of 1897, and following an Act of Congress in 1987, it was officially adopted as the national march of the United States of America. This march contains lyrics which are not as well known, but in this recording the lyrics to the trio are sung. It has become one of the most patriotic songs that America ever has.
