The Sousa
Band was preparing to
embark upon a world tour
in 1910. Before leaving
for the tour, Sousa
composed a new march for
which he did not
immediately provide a
title. The new march was
so well received in
Australia, that
originally, Sousa titled
his march Land of the
Golden Fleece. The high
commissioner of
Australia, George Reid,
requested that the title
be changed to The
Federal. When the march
was published, Sousa
honored both Australia
and New Zealand by
providing the dedication
To the
Australasians..
