Seek Tune Titles on QRS March Medley Roll
By Marshall Jose

[ Ref. Fred Martin in 210528 MMDigest ]

I can't attest to the accuracy of this, but a list of holdings at
the University of Illinois library notes that QRS roll 66300 comprises
a medley of the following tunes: The Directorate, Fairest of the Fair,
Stars and Stripes Forever, and Washington Post March. Those numbering
only 4 tunes, perhaps the annotator mistook each works' musical sections
as separate works.

"Stars and Stripes Forever" has 3 separate strains; I can't speak to the
structure of the other works, but perhaps they might have been varied
enough to persuade a naive hearer to impute new works which were only
related strains.

 [ Fred Martin writes, "I do not see where one tune ends and the next
 [ begins! I played the roll a moment ago and had the light on it and
 [ there is no noticeable space. It is in a QRS box but the label on
 [ the roll says "RECORDO" with the number 66300. No other i.d."
