A SUPERB COPY
Clarinetist Louis Christie joined the Sousa Band in 1898. In 1901, he performed
the clarinet duet, “Nanine” by La Jarte with Norrito on two concerts at Manhattan Beach,
New York.90 Along with performing in Sousa’s band, Christie also performed with the
Arthur Pryor Band and conducted the Morgan Park Boys’ Band in Duluth, Minnesota.91
In fact, when the Sousa Band traveled to Duluth in 1920, Christie directed the boys’ band
in a welcome concert. The Duluth Herald described:
Lieut. John Philip Sousa, the March King, who is recognized as the world’s
greatest band leader, is guest of Duluth today and is being given a rousing
welcome by former friends and admirers. . . . Among the interesting features of
the program was music by the Morgan Park Boys’ Band, led by Louis H. Christie,
who played in Sousa’s band for nine years. The boys played an excellent
program and a special honor was paid the march king by a quartet of boys who
rendered “Let the Rest of the World Go By,” arranged by Mr. Christie for this
occasion.92
Christie also took part in many recording sessions.
Anton Horner (June 21, 1877 – December 4, 1971) was an American horn player. He was part of the Philadelphia Orchestra for 44 years and served for 28 years as its solo horn player. He is credited for introducing the double horn to the United States.[1]
Biography
Horner was born in Gossengrün, Bohemia, part of Austria-Hungary (now Krajková in the Czech Republic) in 1877.[2] He studied under Friedrich Gumpert at the Leipzig Conservatory. After coming to the United States, he joined the Pittsburgh Symphony led by Victor Herbert in 1899. He toured Europe in 1900 with the Sousa Band. From 1902 until his retirement in 1946, Horner performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra,[3] whose director Eugene Ormandy later called him "not only one of the greatest horn players of his time, but of all time”.[4] Horner also taught for many years at the Curtis Institute of Music.[5] Among his many accomplished pupils was Mason Jones.
