type: CreativeWork
description: The purpose of this study was to investigate, identify and describe John Philip Sousa's techniques in transcribing orchestral compositions for band instrumentation. The transcriptions studied were limited to those for which a complete score or a complete set of parts in Sousa's hand was extant, and for which a complete orchestral score of the transcribed work was available for comparison. Not included were transcriptions of works originally composed for piano or organ and works that are accompaniments for voice or solo instrument(s).
