PLEASE CHECK ABOVE FOR CONDITION
Darius A. Lyons (St Paul, MN 1878-Washington County, MN July 14,
1911) began his flute studies in his hometown where he quickly became the lead
player.176 Seeking further studies, he moved to Chicago and later to New York
where his great talent as a flute player made him widely known.177 He joined the
Sousa Band in 1900178 and remained part of it for six years.179
Lyons was a regular touring member of the Sousa Band from 1900 to
1902180 and was frequently featured as a flute or piccolo soloist.181 Although
Lyons appears as a soloist in multiple Sousa Band tour rosters, the only Sousa
Band program featuring Lyons (found by my research) concerning repertoire
shows that he performed the obbligato part of The Pearl of Brazil, aria from the Opera by Félicien David, with the soprano Blanche Duffield in May 5, 1901 in
Rochester, New York at the Lyceum Theater.
Besides touring with the Sousa Band, he also acted as a soloist with the
Savage Grand Opera and was part of the Arthur Pryor’s Band.183 In 1904, he
became a soloist with the permanent orchestra of the Victor Company, where he
was featured on more than seventy records.
Lyons’ professional achievements were remarkable considering the short
period of time he had to develop his career. He died of Tuberculosis at the age of
33, his Certificate of Death states that he suffered for two years from this
disease.
