dablink For the article about emblems, see National emblem listen filename National Emblem U.S. Army Band.ogg title National Emblem description Played by the United States Army Band National Emblem is a march composed in 1902 and published in 1906 by Edwin Eugene Bagley . It is a standard of the American march repertoire, appearing in eleven published editions. Bagley composed the score during a 1902 train tour with his family band. He became frustrated with the ending, and tossed the composition in a bin. Members of the band fortunately retrieved it and secretly rehearsed the score in the baggage car . Bagley was surprised when the band informed him minutes before the next concert that they would perform it. It became the most famous of all of Bagley s marches. Despite this the composition did not make Bagley wealthy for he sold the copyright for 25. Bagley incorporates into the march the first twelve notes of The Star Spangled Banner played by Euphoniums and Trombones and ingeniously disguised in duple rather than triple time. The rest of the notes are all Bagley s, including the four short repeated A flat major chords that lead to a statement by the low brass that is now reminiscent of the national anthem. Unusually, Bagley s march does not incorporate either a break strain or a stinger. The U.S. military uses the trio section as ceremonial music for the color guard when presenting and retiring the colors. John Philip Sousa was once asked to list the three most effective street marches ever written. Not surprisingly, Sousa listed two of his own compositions, but for the third, he selected National Emblem . When Sousa formed and conducted the 350 member U.S. Navy Jackie Band at the Naval Station Great Lakes he chose five marches for World War I Liberty bond drives. Four were by Sousa, Semper Fidelis , Washington Post , The Thunderer , Stars and Stripes Forever and Bagley s National Emblem .
