Favourite March Music

[SeanBeansShako]

More 18th century than 19th but still a big fan of this one.

AAAAAAAAAAAH oh God have mercy!
That is THE WORST piece of music I heard in a very long time. And it sounds more 20th century than early 18th century to me.

[SeanBeansShako]

Somehow that just makes all the more enduring to me.

One of my guys said it sounded like some sort of bizzaro European version of Dixie.

Is he American?

[Bluehawk]

The only source of the Preobrazhensky March being played with fife and drums that I can find also happens to feature two commentators yacking away through the whole damn performance. Breaks my heart.

Skip to 1:10.

Is he American?

Yes he is. And when playing both of them together at the same time he makes a point.

Some marches are obnoxiously hard to find and non existant on YouTube and it quite frankly does suck.
