White Plume

March, The White Plume (1884)
Sousa and Edward M. Taber collaborated on a song called Well Follow Where the White Plume Waves to
support the presidential election campaign of James Gillespie Blaine, affectionately known as the plumed knight. Sousa
rearranged the song as a military march, added new sections, and called it The White Plume.

Editorial Notes
Throughout Sousas career as a conductor, he often altered the performance of his marches in specific ways without
marking or changing the printed music. These alterations were designed for concert performances and included varying
dynamics and omitting certain instruments on repeated strains to expand the range of the musical textures, as well as
adding unscripted percussion accents for dramatic emphasis at key points in the music. Although Sousa never documented
his performance techniques himself, several players who worked extensively with Sousa provided directions for his
frequently performed marches, most notably from cornetist Frank Simon. Many of the marches in Volume 2 of The
Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa were staples in Sousas regular concert repertoire and were included in the
Encore Books used by the Sousa Band. A complete set of his Encore Books resides in the U.S. Marine Band Library
and Archives and are referenced extensively by the Marine Band not only as a guide for some of Sousas special
performance practice, but also to ascertain the exact instrumentation he employed in his own performances of his
marches.
The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa appears in chronological order and is based on some of the earliest known
sources for each composition. These newly edited full scores correct many mistakes and inconsistencies found in the parts
of early publications; however, all remaining markings and the original scoring are preserved. Where instruments are
added to the original orchestration, it is guided by the additional parts Sousa sanctioned in his Encore Books where
applicable or based on these typical doublings. Additionally, the alterations traditionally employed by the United States
Marine Band in performance are incorporated throughout; either those specifically documented by Sousas musicians or
changes modeled on the customary practices of The March King.
The musical decisions included in these editions were influenced by the work of several outstanding Sousa scholars
combined with many decades of Marine Band performance tradition. These editions would not be possible without the
exceptional contributions to the study of Sousas marches by Captain Frank Byrne (USMC, ret.), Jonathan Elkus, Colonel
Timothy Foley (USMC, ret.), Loras Schissel, Dr. Patrick Warfield, and The March Kings brilliant biographer, Paul
Bierley.
Performance practices that deviate from the original printed indications are described below and appear in [brackets] in
the score. In many instances these indications appear side-by-side with the original markings. An open diamond marked
with an accent in the cymbal part indicates that the cymbal player should let that accent ring for an additional beat before
rejoining the bass drum part.
Several parts to The White Plume were added in a later edition. Most of these additional parts double the material in the
original printing, but notable exceptions are the oboe and bassoon parts. In the case of the bassoon parts, they have
passages that dont appear in other instruments (e.g. m. 20). Normally, we would not have included such parts, but these
parts appear in Sousas Encore Books. Since their inclusion implies that he sanctioned them for performance, we have
also included them in this edition and the accompanying recording. Additionally, this march had a plethora of note errors
and inconsistent articulations, all of which have been corrected and consolidated.
First Strain (m. 1-16): There is no introduction to this march. The four quarters in the opening and in m. 9 should be well
accented and the sixteenth and thirty-second turns in the melody should not impede the flow of the line. Be sure to bring
out the fanfare figures in 2nd and 3rd cornet throughout the first strain.
Second Strain (m. 17-33): The dynamics throughout this march were originally mostly loud, so there is a good
opportunity to employ Sousas frequent technique of dropping the dynamic of the second strain and omitting some
instruments. Piccolo, E-flat clarinet, cornets, trombones, and cymbals can be tacet first time, as well as dropping the
octave in flute and clarinet as indicated by the small notes in the score and parts. Everyone is back in at fortissimo starting
in m. 33 for the repeat of the strain.
Trio (m. 35-50): The original dynamic was mezzo-forte, but it can be dropped further to piano. This trio has some
interesting musical material in the brass that justifies keeping them in at the piano dynamic, although cymbals may tacet
here. The 2nd cornet eighth notes and half notes in the trombone are especially important in accompanying the melody, as
is the ascending eighth note line in the low winds and brass at m. 41-42, which should crecscendo to mezzo-forte and then
return to subito piano in m. 43. Cymbals return in m. 49 along with the accented eighth notes in crescendo again for the
low winds and brass into the final strain.
Final Strain (m. 50-66): All instruments are marked fortissimo to the end of this strain. The fanfare figures in the cornets
should come to the fore once again. Percussion accents are added in m. 60 and 62 to help mark the melody and then they
can play two stronger sfz notes in m. 63 and 64. The D.C. is then taken and the first two strains are played once more
(both in fortissimo) to the marked Fine in m. 34, ending on the downbeat. Later editions of this march did not include the
D.C., but the earliest printing used for this edition has one clearly marked in the parts and it works well.
