Program Notes

The pride of Fort Dodge, Iowa, Karl King wrote more than 300 works, of which 188 were marches. His most famous is the circus screamer Barnum and Bailey's Favorite; nevertheless, his masterful craft and gift for melody are on full display in his Peacemaker march.

- Program Note from St. Olaf College Band concert program, 9 February 2020


Peacemaker is representative of a Karl King march at the public school level. Featuring materials similar to both his Trombone King and Henderson Field, this march has enjoyed immense popularity. It has been especially received among public schools in the state of Texas. It features a consistent key signature with tonality shifts throughout the various sections of the march.
