Program Notes
This melodic, patriotic song was written as a contribution to the war effort during World War I. It was written in 1917 with words by Eleanor Allen Schroll. It became very popular around Cincinnati, where Fillmore lived at that time. He wrote this arrangement for band the same year, and the result was this delightful march. It was performed for fund-raising efforts by the Red Cross, and according to the accounts of the event, it assisted in the raising a considerable amount for that worthy cause.
Later, the patriotic Fillmore started an effort to recruit an all-volunteer band to enlist in the army and go to France and go to France to support the American troops who were fighting there. Henry was very popular and persuasive. He might have succeeded, but the war came to an end before he was able to complete the project.
The one-step was a popular ball-room dance that was popular round the beginning of the twentieth century. This bright tune seems to have been very appropriate for that particular dance.
