Kiefersfelden music band

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kiefersfelden music band is an amateur ensemble from the Bavarian-Tyrolean Inntal region with around 110 performances a year. Locally and culturally, it is in the tradition of Alpine brass music and folk music with dance, marching and singing. Since around 1960, the Kiefersfelden music band has been expanding its repertoire of popular music with arrangements from jazz, pop, classical music, evergreens, film music and others. Participants appear in mini formations at church and secular festivals. The Kiefersfelden band performed in rating games of the Upper and Lower Bavarian Music Association . A worldwide unique accent of the Kiefersfelden music band is its participation in the Kiefersfelden Knight Drama in the Historical Village Theater (1833). There has been an exchange with Tyrolean cultural institutions since the era of the conductor and game director Sylvester Greiderer (approx. 1890 to 1900). The board of directors and the music support association shape the profile of the Kiefersfelden music band according to criteria of the cultural and creative industries and strategies of “soft” tourism for local culture, customs and folk music. In addition to intensive youth development, this includes networking with regional clubs and associations.

history

Reforms by laypeople made music shaped the folk culture of the Alpine region. That is why occasions (house music, public holidays, church festivals, pageants, folk festivals, baptisms, weddings, funerals, anniversaries) have seldom been consistent with performances by institutionalized ensembles. A church account counts as the zero hour of the Kiefersfelden music band: “On May 3, 1787, the day the Holy Cross was found, the musicians who were heard received two guilders” (according to Hans Moser: Chronicle of Kiefersfelden, 1959).

The Jesuit Brotherhood of the Holy Cross urged and encouraged from 1720 to 1898, the performances of the Passion and religious games and the formation of the rural population.

The alliance of the Kiefersfelden music band with the knight shows is documented e.g. B. “In the Bauerntheater” in “Tales from the Mountains” by Arthur Achleitner (1888), musicians are also actors and stage technicians up to the present day: “The roles were consistently well memorized and spoken quickly, a noticeable achievement if you Remember that the male actors are also musicians and have to play the stage music in the breaks. "

The musical design of the knight plays as a "rural melodrama" (and a counterpart to the urban genres "Posse with music", "Magic posse" and "Volksstück") confirms the spread of brass music with special vocal and instrumental ensembles (solo and multiple chants, string music, etc.) Ä.) since 1833.

The Kiefersfelden music band received a lot of attention in connection with the summer vacation tourism noticeable from around 1860. Occasions were the ceremonial acts, representative of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the young German Reich Bismarckian coinage, for the inauguration of the neo-Gothic Otto Chapel (June 19, 1836) and for the unveiling of the Victory Column for the 25th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian War (August 25, 1895 ). Historical photo documents (archive of the local history museum in the Blaahaus Kiefersfelden) confirm the extraordinary appreciation the community has for the Kiefersfelden music band since 1890 at the latest. Kapellmeister such as Andreas Manetstätter and Sylvester Greiderer, both play directors of the Ritterschauspiele with above-average educational potential, motivated to permanent cooperation with the village theater, the result is the broadcast to Central Europe.

A negative factor for the continuity of regional music and customs was the existence and preservation of the Kiefersfelden band due to human and material losses in the Second World War. The band masters Sebastian Wallner, Gottfried Werl, Otto Plattner and Max Greiderer succeeded in rehabilitating the reputation of folk music, which had been drastically damaged by National Socialism. After the foundation of the music support association, sheet music for brass music, instruments and costumes has been restored since 1956. That was the basis for the above-average popularity of the Kiefersfelden band through folk music and entertainment programs on radio and television (“Musikantenstadl”, “Straße der Musik” and many more). The extraordinary award with the 1976 Pro Musica plaque from the Federal President in 1976 is still today a nobility predicate for amateur ensembles. Fundamental development work for the repertoire is done by Kapellmeister Josef Pirchmoser with Bolero Musikverlag and, since 2011, his successor Christoph Danner. The 225 year anniversary and the 50th district music festival in 2012 are the current highlights.

The Kiefersfelden music band is a socially active association (e.g. 2005 benefit concert for tsunami victims in Rosenheim ). At private celebrations of participants, the Kiefersfelden music band appears with musical contributions.
