Manhattan Beach (march)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manhattan Beach is an American march by John Philip Sousa (1854-1932). It was written in 1893[1] to commemorate the Manhattan Beach Park resort[2]. It follows a different march style (AABBCCDD) and in part D, the tune starts off quiet, grows louder, and fades away.
