Program Notes

This was one of the first Sousa compositions after he assumed leadership of the U.S. Marine Band in October, 1880. It is a cleverly arranged medley which was intended to bring the Marine Band up to date with well-known opera and operetta excerpts and popular songs of the day. As the title suggests, the fantasy includes music heard both in the parlor and on the street. One of the pieces used was Sousa's own comical song, Smick, Smack, Smuck (1878). One holograph dating 1888 indicates that the fantasy might have been revised at that time.
