John Philip Sousa : The Liberty Bell March arr. by Charls-Henry Mc Callaghan

''Liberty Bell'' is the name of the bell that was rung as the
the American Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776,
was read for the first time in public on Independence Square.
As an icon of independence, the bell has always served as a US national symbol.
The special feature of the bell is a crack in the sound
body, which runs more than half the height of the bell and renders it inoperable.
The embossing on the bell, an excerpt from the 3rd Book of Moses (Leviticus 25:10
KJV), is an important leitmotif of American democracy and the tolling of the bell
bell for the abolition of slavery. John Philip Sousa named his famous march The Liberty Bell which also served as the title theme for the series ''Monty
Python's Flying Circus'' series.
