The Marines' Hymn, Apotheosis by
The Marines' Hymn, Apotheosis by MGySgt Sammy Nestico, USMC (ret.)
"The President's Own" United States Marine Band Brass Ensemble
Washington National Cathedral
The Marines’ Hymn is one of the most readily recognized songs and is the oldest of the country’s service songs. The history of the hymn has been clouded by the passing of time and confused by oral tradition. There is no confusion, however, on the part of the hearer when The Marines’ Hymn is performed: it is as easily identified with the United States Marine Corps as “The Star-Spangled Banner” is with the nation. To all Marines, it has become a sacred symbol of pride, professionalism,
and esprit de corps. Marines stand tall at the position of attention when the hymn is performed.
The setting by former Marine Band arranger Sammy Nestico presents the hymn as an apotheosis, the most elevated and exalted setting of the music imaginable. It begins with a strong introduction which ends with a brief reference to the bugle call “Taps.” Following a quiet and unadorned statement of the melody, the arrangement grows in intensity until it becomes a glorious and dramatic declaration of the sacred music, fitting to resound even in Heaven’s scenes where “the streets are guarded by United States Marines."
