This well-known march was composed in 1930 by Henry Fillmore (1881- 1956) for the Cincinnati Auto Show and was dedicated “to the producers of the Klaxon Automobile Horns.” Cast in cut-time meter and marked simply “March tempo,” the work begins in E major and modulates to A major at the trio following well-established march tradition. The colorful trio begins with a legato melody featuring the horns, alto saxophones, and tenor saxophones and beautifully demonstrates Fillmore’s gift for creating interesting melodies and counter-melodies.
