Program Notes
The Southerner march is one of Alexander's most popular works. A strong introduction, interesting melodies and countermelodies, exciting modulations in the trio, and dynamic change that lift the listener out of his seat -- these are the features of this stirring march. The dedication on the original cornet conductor part was short and sweet: "To my wife." Alexander wrote another march, entitled The Southerners, which he also dedicated to his wife. The original unpublished manuscript is at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
