Sousa's "Magna Charta March"
John Philip Sousa was known as the "March King" for his military and patriotic marches such as "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Sousa's "Magna Charta March" was written in 1927 at the behest of the International Magna Charta Day Association and was part of an effort to establish an annual observance of the signing of Magna Carta on June 15. |
