Great Freemasons: John Philip Sousa (1854 - 1932)



‎"Any composer who is gloriously conscious that he is a composer must believe that he receives his inspiration from a source higher than himself."



"Governmental aid is a drawback rather than an assistance, as, although it may facilitate in the routine of artistic production, it is an impediment to the development of true artistic genius."
John Philip Sousa
