When the 2020 presidential election officially was called for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Altadena-based composer Peter Boyer dashed off a note to Col. Jason K. Fettig, director of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band.
The subject line of the email read, “If you need a piece written for the Inauguration …”
Boyer, who generally composes orchestral music, had collaborated with Fettig on a couple of occasions in the last few years, most notably when Fettig commissioned him to write a piece for the band’s 220th anniversary. That work premiered in San Antonio in 2018.
The Marine Band, America’s oldest continuously active musical organization, played at the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson in 1801. When an outfit like that comes calling, Boyer said in a phone interview, you don’t turn it down.

Susan Rider is expecting Wednesday s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden to be very unique compared with the five prior ceremonies she has performed at.
But the Cedar Falls native â a master gunnery sergeant with the United States Marine Band â said that won t change the important symbolism as America s 46th president starts his term in office.  Certainly, I think the state of our world has dictated that this inauguration has a different look to it and feel to it, said Rider, 53, who plays trumpet and cornet in the band.
