It was in the winter of 1792, and there was a scarcity in Strasburg. The house of Dietrick was poor, and the table humble; but there was always a welcome for Rouget de Lisle. This young officer was there from morning to night, like a son or brother of the family. One day, when there was only some coarse bread and slices of ham on the table, Dietrick, looking with calm sadness at De Lisle, said to him, " Plenty is not seen at our feasts; but what matter if enthusiasm is not wanting at our civic Rtes, and courage in our soldiers' hearts.

De Lisle was a dreamer: his heart was moved, his head was heated. The cold seized on him, and he went staggering to his lonely chamber, endeavoring, by degrees, to find Inspiration in tbe palpitations of his citizen heart; and on his small clavicord, now composing the air before the words, and now the words before the air, combined them so intimately in his mind, that he could never tell which was first produced, the air or the words, so impossible did he find it to separate the poetry from the music, and the feeling from the impression.

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932), once the world's most popular musician, wrote an intriguing autobiography several years before he died. With this revised and updated edition, the story of the "March King," who charmed audiences around the globe for half a century, now springs back to life. Sousa's music is a vital part of the American heritage. His famous band, in actuality a cultural export, was the most successful organization of its kind in the history of entertainment. This book brings the colorful story of both Sousa and his music into true focus in a most delightful way. Of particular interest are Sousa's personal observations of Presidents of the United States, whom he served in his early life while leader of the United States Marine Band.
