Sousa told interviewers that the following phrase inspired him to compose the march:"A sudden thought strikes me; let us swear eternal friendship"
The march was dedicated to all of America's allied countries abroad and the
Highty-Tighties , the Regimental Band of theVirginia Tech Cadet Corps. It is written in cut time and follows the standard march form (IAABBCCDCDC). It begins in the key of F major and ends in B-flat major. The third (C) section, or trio, features a memorable and lyrical melody that is repeated and layered with apiccolo obbligato and finally a low brasscounter-melody ."Hands Across the Sea" remains as one of Sousa's more popular marches, and is still performed widely by bands.
This march is considered among the most popular of all marches due to the catchy tune in the trio. The piccolo part is quite important in the third playing of the trio.
