Arthur expressed his displeasure for "Hail to the Chief", the personal anthem of the president, and requested that Sousa compose a more appropriate piece.[61] "Semper Fidelis" was composed two years after Arthur's death, which takes its title from the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps, which means "always faithful". The march unusually features a drum break before the trio. The first Trio strain is constructed of a bugle call repeated three times with increasingly complex accompaniment superimposed on it. Famously, there is no stinger.

"The Man Behind the Gun" 1900 A / D 6
8
/ 2
4
I-AA-BB-CC-(Br)-DD Sousa considered this march an echo of the Spanish–American War, and it first appeared in an operetta in 1899. The Trio changes meter from compound ot simple meter, a rare device in Sousa's marches. A brief extension of the first trio strain functions as a break strain before the second trio strain.
"Hail to the Spirit of Liberty" 1900 E / A   I-AA-BB-C-Br-C-Br-C Composed for Sousa's band's first overseas tour of Paris. It was first played when Lafayette's monument was unveiled there on July 4, 1900.

Percussion is limited, but includes a Timpani part. Referneces to songs by two Pittsburgh composers are included: Stephen Foster's "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming" and Ethelbert Nevin's "Narcissus". The final strain cleverly takes all the melodies from each respective strain and superimposes them for a grand finale.

Appropriately, it features a boatswain's whistle and ship's bell in the percussion.

"From Maine to Oregon" 1913 E / A / C minor / E 2
4
I-A-B-C-Br-C Sousa's operetta "All American" had been transformed to compose this march. The unusually difficult upper woodwind parts contain many florid 16th note runs. A ratchet features in the break strain, which changes the key for the final repetition to the home key.
"Columbia's Pride" 1914 D / G 6
8
I-A-BB Based on a Sousa's 1890 song "Nail the flag to the mast". Sousa made some modifications in the song and composed this march for piano, which he apparently never arranged on a band or orchestra.
