Program Notes
This march was written during World War I, a time when Americans, as well as other national, were deeply grateful for the humanitarian work performed by the Red Cross. The International Red Cross was established at a convention in Geneva in 1864, largely through the efforts of J.H. Dunant, a Swiss. The organization's symbol, a red cross on a white background, has been prominent during public health campaigns and periods of disaster ever since that time. The American society (one of eighty-six) was organized by Clara Barton in 1881. The organization is supported entirely by voluntary contributions.
- Program Note from March Music Notes
This traditional concert march was composed in 1918 by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, native Louis Panella (1881-1940) who played trumpet in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and taught trumpet at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University). Conceived as a tribute to the humanitarian efforts of the American Red Cross during World War I, the march is set in cut time and follows American march tradition.
