Over There For Concert Band, Arranged by Jari Villanueva

"Over There" by George M. Cohan was popular with the United States military and the American public during World War I and World War II. Written shortly after the American entry into World War I, "Over There" is a patriotic song intended to galvanize American men to enlist in the American Expeditionary Forces. The song is best remembered for a line in its chorus: "The Yanks are coming."

According to the Library of Congress, Cohan wrote "Over There" during his commute to work on April 7, 1917, a day after the U.S. entered the war. Its opening verse is derived from "Johnny, Get Your Gun", an 1886 song written by Monroe Rosenfeld, while its rhythm was based on a three-note bugle call.
