"Columbia's Pride" is a patriotic American march composed by John Philip Sousa in 1914, based on his 1890 song, "Nail the Flag to the Mast."[1] "Columbia's Pride" was published in 1914 by Theodore Presser Co. in Philadelphia as a score for piano.[2]
History
In 1890, Sousa wrote his song “Nail the Flag to the Mast,” using a poem by William Russell Frisbe for the lyrics.[1] In 1914, to compose "Columbia's Pride," Sousa "modified the melody and rhythm, added a change of key, and shortened" his song, in addition to removing the words.[1] The 1914 Theodore Presser Co. score of the march states it was composed 'After the song "Nail the Flag to the Mast."'[3] Sousa composed "Columbia's Pride" for piano, and "apparently never arranged [it] for band or orchestra."[1] However, the United States Marine Band has performed the march arranged for band by Gay Corrie.[4]
