Spirit of Independence (military march two-step) was published in 1912 by the Jerome H. Remick &
Company (New York City, NY) and arranged by J. Bodewalt Lampe. The march is respectfully
dedicated to Mr. J. Bodewalt Lampe.

J.B.s major instruments were violin, piano, and trombone and he learned the fundamentals of several
other instruments. By 1881, there were ten children in the Lampe family and at age 12 J.B. had to
leave school to help his parents at home. He played in the violin section of what was to become the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra (which was pioneered by his father and uncle Emil Oberhoffer).
He left the orchestra to begin a career as a conductor and began directing his own group at local
hotels and at Lake Minnetonka during the summer season. Lampe composed and arranged a large
amount of music; one of his many pen names was Ribe Danmark (reference to his birthplace). He
2
was a charter member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers).

Jens Bodewalt Lampe was born into the large and musical family of Christian
and Dorothea Lampe in Ribe, Denmark, in 1869. A cobbler by trade, his
father played tuba and bass violin in the summers with the band at the Tivoli
Theater in Copenhagen, and several members of the family became wellknown musicians. In 1873, when J.B. (as he was later called) was four, his
father accepted an offer to direct the Great Western Band in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the family
moved to America.
