Descriptive Information

Title
101st Regiment, U. S. A. March
Composer
Potter, Bert (Albert Lincoln)  
Publisher
D. W. Cooper Publishing Co.  
Place of Publication
Boston (Mass.)  
Year of Publication
1917  
Date of Copyright
1917-12-10
Physical Description
1 score, piano solo ([1], 2-5, [1] p.)
Comment
  • Despite the lack of performances and promotion, the two editions, the piano roll, and the newspaper supplement suggest some degree of popularity, especially in Boston.
  • D. W. Cooper Publishing Co.
  • 600 Washington St.
Historical Note
  • “E. A. S.” has not been identified.
  • The 101st Regiment, “Boston’s Own,” was part of the celebrated 26 Division (the “Yankee Division”) in World War I. In addition to civic pride, Potter had a personal motivation for this march: his son Albert N. Potter had enlisted on July 7, 1917, and was listed among the wounded at the war’s end.
  • This is the first of two editions; the second, with a colored cover and the music reduced to two pages, was issued after April 16, 1918. In addition, the trio only was included in a “War Song” musical supplement in the Boston Sunday Advertiser, June 6, 1918.
  • There were no recordings, but one piano roll was released.
Musical Note
This sprightly but conventional march in 6/8 modulates as usual to the subdominant for the trio. It contains no quotations but does make extensive use of bugle calls and fanfare figures.
