who made individual contributions ...to the field of Light Music, who are known best for certain specific pieces, include:
John Philip Sousa (November 6, 1854 March 6, 1932)
was born in Washington, D.C., of Portuguese-American parents. A versatile student in a military academy, at 17 he played violin in an orchestra led by French Can-Can composer Jacques Offenbach. His leadership of the U.S. Marine Band under five U.S. presidents (1880-1892) and the march compositions he wrote for the Band would have been enough to insure his fame. But he left the Marine Band post in order to form a civilian wind band of his own as a touring commercial enterprise, at the urging of promoter David Blakely.
Although Sousa"the March King" may not be associated with "light music" per se, the Sousa Band was one of the first real popular instrumental stars of American music. They had phenomenol success touring the world over between 1892 - 1932, popularizing and playing the catchy melodies composed by their leader and others.
Sousa compositions are often put into the separate category of a "Brass Band" music. But they somehow rise above the mundane marching tune to the level of a light-classical composition, similar to those of Leroy Anderson. Sousa was a broader musician than many people realize.
