Program Notes

Karl King’s Rough Riders March was a tribute to both President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt and the volunteer cavalrymen who became known as his Rough Riders. It has been described as a “galop” march.

- Program Note by Kevin Simpson for United States Army Band concert program, February 23, 2019


Karl King generally did not title his marches, and there is no personal significance to the title Rough Riders for Karl King. King would send the marches to Barnhouse Publishing, and they would put patriotic titles to the pieces. Rough Riders can be found in the Uncle Sam A-Strut March Book, and was originally published in 1943.
