Congress Hall (1882)

Congress Hall is the name of a historic inn at Cape May, New Jersey. Cape May was and is today a popular east
coast resort area, and in 1882 the U. S. Marine Band made its first appearance there under Sousas direction. The band had
created little interest outside Washington until Sousa assumed leadership in 1880. News of its surprising excellence
spread, and it was invited to play this engagement at Cape May from August 20 to 26, 1882. Sousa returned the
compliment by composing this march and dedicating it to the proprietors of the inn, H. J. and G. R. Crump.

Editorial Notes

Throughout Sousas career as a conductor, he often altered the performance of his marches without marking or changing the printed
music. These alterations were designed for concert performances and included varying dynamics and omitting certain instruments on
repeated strains to expand the range of the musical textures, as well as adding unscripted percussion accents for dramatic emphasis at
key points in the music. Although Sousa never documented his performance techniques himself, several players who worked
extensively with Sousa provided directions for his frequently performed marches, most notably cornetist Frank Simon. Sousa
continued to conduct many of his earlier marches later in his career with these unique alterations, but he rarely returned to several of
the marches composed between 1873 and 1880. Although no written confirmation exists for how Sousa might have performed these
earliest compositions, select elements of his typical performance practices can also be applied to these marches.

The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa appears in chronological order and is based on some of the earliest known sources for
each composition. These newly edited full scores correct many mistakes and inconsistencies found in the parts of early publications;
however, all remaining markings and the original scoring are preserved. Additionally, the alterations traditionally employed by the
United States Marine Band in performance are incorporated throughout; either those specifically documented by Sousas musicians or
changes modeled on the customary practices of The March King.

Performance practices that deviate from the original printed indications are described below and appear in [brackets] in the score. In
many instances these indications appear side-by-side with the original markings. An open diamond marked with an accent in the
cymbal part indicates that the cymbal player should let that accent ring for an additional beat before rejoining the bass drum part.

First strain (m. 5-21): The first strain was originally marked fortissimo (as is the introduction), but the following printed crescendos
are difficult to highlight with a fortissimo base dynamic. Reducing this dynamic slightly to forte works better here.

Second strain (m. 21-38): This strain is also marked fortissimo and may be played as marked. There is a curious crescendo marked in
the percussion parts from m. 26-28; this can work if percussion brings back the dynamic to mezzo-piano at m. 25 and makes the
crescendo back to fortissimo by m. 29.

Trio (m. 39-58): The first significant dynamic variation comes in the trio. After the four bar transition and diminuendo, piccolo,
cornets, and trombone may tacet beginning with the pick-up notes in m. 42. Triangle is preferable to cymbal throughout the trio. All
instruments rejoin for the break-up strain beginning in m. 58.

Breakup strain (m. 58-74): Crescendos appear in m. 62-64 and 70-72. Again, the base fortissimo dynamic should be dropped to
facilitate these crescendos back to fortissimo both times.

Final strain (m. 75-end): The final strain is played once through at fortissimo. Percussion accents are effective on the downbeats of
m.78 and 86.
