Comment | With no mention in the trade, no advertising, and few surviving copies, this title appears to have had almost no impact. |
Historical Note | McKinley’s numbered series of instrumental pieces was released roughly in order, so No. 1785, “Young America March,” (© 1918 10 23) would probably have preceded this title (No. 1787). |
Musical Note | A standard march in cut time (marked “Marcia” with half note at 104), with two strains and a trio in the subdominant, the skilled but wholly conventional music climaxes in the trio by quoting the opening of “America.” |
