This is an extremely thorough 4 volume guide to the regimental
march tunes and other parade music which inspired loyalty, pride
and battlefield motivation for generations of Germans over three
centuries. Built around a translation of the previously unpublished
works of two great German military music historians, the late
Lieutenant Colonel Joachim Toeche-Mittler and Lieutenant Colonel
(Retd) Werner Probst, it describes the history of every march in
the official collections sanctioned by successive kings of Prussia,
German Emperors, and later by Chief Inspectors of Music of the
German Republic and Third Reich. This work is no apology or eulogy
for a militaristic culture now long gone amongst the German people,
but a description of the international and home sources for the
march repertoire, and the personalities involved in composing,
commissioning, and dedicating marches to the leading personalities
of the age, and their adoption as regimental music by the fighting
units of Prussia and the other Old German States, Imperial Germany,
and the later German Reich and Post War Republics of East and West
Germany. The series will provide information about how the
regimental bandsmen and signaller musicians on fife, drum and bugle
paraded and performed this repertoire, the manufacture and
embellishments of their instruments, Schellenbaum 'Jingling
Johnnies' and Drum Majors' Staffs, and their employment and
deployment in the ranks of the fighting units on parade and in
battle. After a short introduction, Volume 1 concentrates on the
vast official Royal Prussian collection of'regimental' and
'neutral' quick marches. Translated from previously unpublished
original research by the late Luftwaffe Lt. Col. Joachim
Toeche-Mittler, it provides a definitive description for each
march, its composer, and how and by whom it was used, in many cases
on campaign as well as on parade. With only one exception before
1914, every Prussian, and most non-Prussian regiments, had their
regimental march from within this collection.
