Program Notes

Karl King's Hosts of Freedom March has been one of the most popular easier marches in the Barnhouse catalog for generations, and it's now available in this wonderful "Command" series edition by Andrew Glover. Unbeatable as a concert opener or closer, or for performance at contests and festivals. Your band will sound like a million dollars on this classic "King-tune!"

-Program Note by publisher

Hosts of Freedom is one of Karl King’s most popular and tuneful marches. It was written in late 1919 or early 1920, when Mr. King was living in Canton, Ohio, shortly after he left his position as bandmaster of the Barnum and Bailey Circus, and shortly before moving to Fort Dodge, Iowa, to assume leadership of that town’s municipal band. While the march contains no dedication, the title is reflective of post-WWI patriotic sentiment in the United States.
