Program Notes

This lively work was Osterling's first published march. The title came from a nickname given to the state of Connecticut many years ago – the early traders in that area reportedly sold wooden nutmegs for real ones.

- Program Note from Program Notes for Band


"Nutmegger" is a nickname for people from the state of Connecticut. The official nickname for Connecticut is "The Constitution State", as voted in 1958 by the Connecticut state legislature; however "The Nutmeg State" is an unofficial nickname for the state, hence the nickname "Nutmegger".
