Bavarian parade march

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian Defiliermarsch ( Army March II, 146 (AM II, 246)) was composed around 1850 by the Bavarian military musician Adolf Scherzer in Ingolstadt .

Originally the march was for the Royal Bavarian 7th Infantry Regiment “Carl v. Pappenheim ” and was first heard as the“ Avancier March ”. The march was later called the Ingolstadt Parade March . The march was particularly popular in the war against Prussia in 1866 and in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870/71 . Allegedly, King Ludwig II himself decided to make the march a Bavarian advance and defile march .

Under its current title "Bavarian Defiliermarsch", the unmistakable march has become a symbol of the Free State of Bavaria , is sometimes referred to as its "secret national anthem" after the official Bavarian anthem and is part of the standard repertoire of many domestic and foreign wind orchestras . It is traditionally the performance march of the Bavarian Prime Minister , but is also generally played when other political celebrities appear and on special state events.

In Luchino Visconti's film Ludwig II , the Bavarian parade is played during the young king's coronation celebrations.
