Hello, everyone
Does anyone know who composed the march "Vor Paris"? According to info from a Russian CD, the composer's name was Stöckigt.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan
Vor Paris [march by Stöckigt?]
Oh, well, that's very interesting question! Could you please tell me from were did you get it? As I know, in abroad it isn't very known march, and I've only one foreign recording of it, from Russian CD "Nemetskie marshi" ("German Marches") where it's performed by Kapelle des Kgl. Bayr., E. Burrow (it's written on CD). Do you know this orchestra? Nevertheless, in Russia it's well-known march named "Grenadier", positioning as old Russian imperial march of unknown composer.
But there's very interesting arcticle where it's mentioned: http://www.militarmusiksamfundet.com/sh ... id=pariser Unfortunately, it's on Swedish, but one of my friends translated it to me, and there's written that it is really old Russian imperial march and sometimes is played in Sweden sometimes under the name "Vor Paris", sometimes under the name "Grenadjär". It's written that B. Stöckigt really is considered as composer of this march but they mentioned that on Stockholmspolisens musikkår's CD "Vårluft över stan" composer is written as V Nikolaj. Unfortunately, I haven't this Swedish recording, but if you need and if you tell your E-mail, ICQ or s-thing else, I can send you my good Russian recording of this march. My email is [email protected].
About some of other marches I'll try to find info later.

On Russian records or band parts I have seen no composer stated for Grenadjer. My personal opinion is that it is not originally a Russian march. It does not sound Russian, so it could very well have come to Russia from Germany.
