Russell Alexander (February 26, 1877 in Nevada, Missouri – October 1, 1915 in Liberty, NY was an entertainer and composer, active primarily with vaudeville shows and musical comedy organizations. He was a euphonium virtuoso who joined the circus band of Belford's Carnival at the age of 18. At 20, he became arranger and euphonium soloist with the Barnum & Bailey Circus Band and toured Europe from 1897 to 1902. Following his tour with Barnum & Bailey, Russell Alexander worked in a novelty musical vaudeville act with his brothers. Although his compositional output was relatively small, he is considered a great composer of marches. He wrote 33 marches, 6 galops, and several overtures, novelties, and other works. For part of his career he worked in acts with his brothers, Newton and Woodruff. On July 20, 2015, a memorial plaque honoring Alexander was unveiled on the Main Street Stage in Liberty, NY, just a short distance from the Old Town Cemetery in which Alexander is buried. The ceremony included a performance of seven Alexander works, and the event was sponsored by Windjammers, Unlimited. ==Works== Unless noted, his works were published by C. L. Barnhouse Co., to whom Alexander's widow sold the rights to his music shortly after his death. *Across the Atlantic March (1899) *Americans Before Havana Overture (unpublished) *Baltimore's Boast March (1899) *Bastinado Galop (1908) *Belford's Carnival (1897) *Burr's Triumphal (1897) *The Butterfly Dance (unpublished) *The Cantonians March (1908) *Charioteers of Semiramis Galop (unpublished) *Colossus of Columbia (1901) *The Comedy Club March (1907) White Publishing *Congressional Limited Galop (unpublished) *The Conquest March (1913) Fillmore Bros.
