March (music)

A march (Italian marcia, French marche, MARCARE from the Latin, " pounding stride ") is a piece of music, the purpose of which is to accompany the movement of a large crowd, and to regulate while marching. Marching music means the corresponding music genre. It is related to the border dances like Intrada, Pavane and Polonaise.

Development

Festive elevators were already in ancient times accompanied with music; a higher artistic design received the march in Greek tragedy, where the choir appeared in measured motion and also relinquished, though not with instrumental accompaniment, but singing.

The military march is sometimes incorrectly attributed to the Thirty Years' War. The drums, timpani, trumpets and Swiss pipes were already at the beginning of the 16th century in use when a prince rode into a city or moved into the field (Sebastian Virdung ); even late medieval processional chants and Crusader and Landsknecht songs form the precursor of the modern march.

The shape of the march, as it is found as an art music first in operas (Jean -Baptiste Lully ) and then as a piano piece (François Couperin ), is the ancient dance forms ( two 8 - to 16 -bar repeats ).

Molding

The march music is held in a straight stroke ( two-part ). Today's march is typically performed in a two-part song form, and in addition to this " law " is a more melodic held "Trio ", often in a different key ( the subdominant ). The military marches are either parade marches ( Pas ordinaires ) Geschwindmärsche ( Pas redoubles, quick march) or storm marches ( Pas de charge ).

From the number of intended for special purposes and occasions marches ( hard marches, marches homage, church marches; almost only on stage in elevators, etc. ) of the Funeral March ( Marcia funebre ) stands out as particularly characteristic. In addition, there are also songs in march form, which are also presented as instrumental promenade march.
