Edwin Franko Goldman (1 January 1878 – 21 February 1956) was a significant American band composer and conductor.  

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marching into the New Year


Although a band cannot refuse a

Rousing march composed by Sousa,

They sometimes heed the siren call

Of Goldman’s famous “On the Mall,”

And then the band enjoys the zest

Of marching at its peppy best.
