Purchasing information Notice for leaders/bass players
Length: approx. 2¾ mins. Sounds best if the 1st tenor and bass are doubled.
Tennessee Centennial March celebrates of course the 100 year jubilee of the Volunteer State being ceded by Britain to the USA in 1796 when it became the 16th state. It is also dedicated to one Mrs J. C. Thompson.
The march itself is a bright and breezy affair. Its form is AABBCCDD with an 8-bar introduction and a 4-bar interlude between the BB and CC strains. The final bar of the original piano sheet music is scored with
D. C. al Fine. Unfortunately however no
Fine is anywhere to be found. Extending the piece with a further A and B strains works quite well. Please experiment!
Tennessee Centennial March was published by
H.A. French, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
A tempo of 160 crotchets/min. is suggested.
