Mother Goose

March, Mother Goose (1883)
One of the seldom-used marches in the Sousa Band repertoire was this medley of nursery tunes. Reflecting his
sense of humor, Sousa used it in a sly manner. On one occasion, a matinee audience seemed unresponsive. He quietly
uttered to the band, If theyre going to act like children, well give them childrens music! Get up Mother Goose,
gentlemen. This got to be a joke with the bandsmen, and when Sousa appeared to be perturbed with a matinee audience,
they would nudge one another and say, The Old Mans about ready to give em Mother Goose!
The nursery tunes included are Come All Ye Young Maids, Ise Come to See Miss Jennie Jones, Little Jack
Horner, There Is a Man in Our Town, Our Dear Doctor, and Down in the Meadow.

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.
Introduction and First Strain (m. 1-12): Much of this medley march is marked forte or fortissimo, which was not
uncommon for Sousa in these types of marches. That said, there are many opportunities to add some dynamic shading.
Because both the introduction and first strain are forte, the accent in m. 4 is important to set up the first melody.
Second Strain (m. 13-21): A diminuendo has been added in m. 13 to set up a piano dynamic for the second strain first
time through (with cymbals tacet), followed by a crescendo in the first ending to the original dynamic of forte for the
second time. The trills in the woodwinds should be played fast on both the eighth notes and dotted quarters, but try to fit
in at least two trills on each eighth note.
Third Strain (m. 22-30): Same dynamic process as the previous strain; soft first time through without cymbals, but this
time with a subito forte in the first ending and through the repeat.
Transition and Trio, Part 1 (m. 31-51): The piano dynamic here is original to Sousa, as is the solo triangle in the
percussion part. The brass typically does not drop out for the trio of medley marches, and because of the integral fanfare
figures in the cornet parts here, it is best if they continue to play. The fortissimo beginning in m. 44 should be a surprise,
as should be the subito piano of the next strain.
Trio, Part 2 (m. 52-59): This next tune in the sequence provides one of the best opportunities for some dynamic respite.
After the piano dynamic first time through, the repeat may be done even softer (as Sousa often did himself on the repeats
in his trios). Cymbals should also be out both times. Be sure that the flute/piccolo elaboration on the melody can be heard
clearly both times.
Trio, Part 3 (m. 60-83): This extended tune in the medley is back to forte with cymbals rejoining the percussion. The
cornet fanfares must be heard through the largely doubled melody, especially starting in m. 76 and a percussion accent
works well as marked in m. 73.
Reprise of Trio, Part 1 (m. 84-end): The beginning of the Trio repeats here to finish the march. It is marked piano, and
instruments that finish m. 83 with a quarter note and consider this a subito piano. However, those with the eighth and
sixteenth notes of the melody in m. 83 will need to add a quick diminuendo as marked to make this transition work.
Cymbals should choke the last accented note in m. 83 to leave the triangle alone starting in m. 84 before all rejoin at
fortissimo at m. 92 to finish the march.
