10196 Our Victorious Nation March
|
New York Military Band
|

A stirring march which echoes strains of our national airs,
a feature that ever appeals to the typical American.
The air is bright and snappy.
Just the kind to keep the feet a-going while the Record is being played.
Composer, J. Lincoln; publishers, Vandersloot Music Publishing Co., Williamsport, Pa.

Edison's National Phonograph Company "band" recordings evolved from its
initial, generally snappy, recordings by the Peerless Orchestra
(Early 1899 through mid-1903) into a military band style.
Recordings by the new Edison Military band were first released in October 1903.
The band's name was changed to the New York Military Band in October 1908.
In summary (Edison selection numbers are in brackets):
Peerless Orchestra Early 1899 [#670] - June 1903 [#8414]
Edison Military Band October 1903 [#8500] - September 1908 [#9947, plus #10031 in December]
New York Military Band October 1908 [#9948] - beyond the end of the wax cylinder era (1912)
