Sousa's The Liberty Bell (March) for Military Band was published in 1893 and became an immediate hit. It was originally scored for: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, snare drum, and strings. However, it is often performed today by a standard Military Band, consisting of woodwind, brass, and percussion sections. An abbreviated version of Liberty Bell was used as the theme tune for the British television comedy sketch show, Monty Python's Flying Circus, which ran from 1969 to 1974.
This arrangement for Wind Quintet consists of the whole March with its Trio section. The dynamic shaping is based on that used by The President's Own Band, but these are largely editorial.
