Maxglaner Gypsy March

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maxglaner Zigeunermarsch (also Maxglaner Zigeunerpolka, Maxglaner March) is a popular piece of folk music by Tobi Reiser . The title can be attributed to Alpine folk music . There are interpretations as march as well as polka .

history

Reiser published the march in 1971 under the title “Maxglaner Zigeuner Faschingsmarsch” in his collection “The Third 25”. There it is also said that his music was based on the carnival parades in the Salzburg district of Maxglan , which were common before the First World War , during which the citizens, disguised as “gypsies and rabble riot”, marched through the city center. The veracity of this explanation is questionable. It is more likely that it is Reiser's efforts to embed the composition in as traditional a context as possible.

In fact, there was a camp for Sinti and Roma in the area of ​​the Kendlersiedlung in Maxglan , sometimes also referred to as the "Maxglan Gypsy Camp ", from which a majority of the inmates were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. A connection is sometimes suggested in the literature.

At the opening ceremony of the 2006 soccer world championship on June 9, 2006, the Maxglaner March became known to a broader audience with a platter interlude .

Other versions

There are other versions of the march, for example the title “Maxlazibada” from the Salzburger Nockerln. Another adaptation comes from Christof Zellhofer under the name "Maxglaner Reloaded", which u. a. was interpreted in the break film at the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic in 2016 .
