CONDITION: EXCELLENT PRISTINE Plays EXCEPTIONALLY QUIETA CHOICE COPYFULL SOUNDThe Marine Band has been uniquely known as "The President's Own" since 1801 due to its historical connection to the President of the United States. The relationship between the Marine Band and the White House began on New Year's Day 1801 when President John Adams invited the band to perform at the Executive Mansion. The United States Marine Band is the premier band of the United States Marine Corps. Established by act of Congress on July 11, 1798, it is the oldest of the United States military bands and the oldest professional musical organization in the United States. Leader William Henry Santelmann William Henry Christian Santelmann (September 24, 1863 – December 17, 1932) was a director of the United States Marine Band.[1]BiographyHe was born on September 24, 1863, in Offensen, Kingdom of Hanover. He studied violin and clarinet and at age 15, in 1878 composed his first music. His youngest son was William Frederick Santelmann (1902–1984) who would eventually be the 21st Director of the United States Marine Band.[1]In 1887 he auditioned on the violin, clarinet and baritone for the United States Marine Band “The President’s Own” for none other than John Philip Sousa and was accepted on all three instruments officially joining the band on Sept. 24, 1887. Nov. 10, 1888 he married Clara Auguste Sophia Becke (1861–1932), originally from Isle of Rügen, Germany, at the Concordia Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C. In 1895 he left the band to work with the Lafayette Theater Orchestra and soon formed his own orchestra. Due to his orchestra's quality and excellence he was approached to return to the Marine Band as its leader.William was director of the United States Marine Band starting in 1898 when he replaced Francesco Fanciulli.[1] On March 3, 1898, William H. Santelmann became the 19th Director of the United States Marine Band “The President’s Own” slightly preceding the Spanish-American War. When he became leader he initiated many new ideas including the creation of the US Marine Symphony Orchestra. He also insisted that all incoming band members must know how to play at least two instruments - one orchestral, the other band. This was so that if there was an official engagement outside and the weather turned bad, the orchestra would take over the musical performance inside.Santelmann demanded discipline and training and when quality improved enough, performances at the White House resumed in 1902. The improved group soon became in demand to perform at other vocations than just the White House. In 1916 a daily log was started to keep track of all the band's activities which could include many concerts in a week, regular concerts at the White House and a series of weekly radio broadcasts in 1922. Before, during and after World War I, the band/orchestra made many trips to the White House to perform for visiting dignitaries.He retired on May 1, 1927, and was replaced by Taylor Branson. He was then commissioned a captain in the United States Marine Corps.[1] To date, he is the longest serving Director with 29 years of service. He died on December 17, 1932, in Chevy Chase, Maryland.[2] He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.[3] More Great Records on sale right now: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ssn=carsten_sf&_from=R40&_nkw=&_sacat=0&_sop=1 http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
