Record of the Week

from The National Jukebox

Each week our panel of experts picks a different National Jukebox selection to highlight.

This week’s selection:

"Siamese Patrol," played by Sousa’s Band, recorded December 28, 1909.

This spirited and catchy march was penned by German operetta composer Paul Lincke. Notice the change in dynamics—the band begins very softly and slowly grows in volume, and then—at the conclusion—fades away, much like a band passing by in review.
