SOUNDTRACK

The last unknown march is Marsch der Garde-Kürassiere [Armeemarsch III, Nr. 55] (Erbprinzessin Charlotte von Sachsen-Meiningen)

[kashash]

What are the marches called starting from 1:13:40 ?
Especially the one at 1:23:00, it's my favorite
First one I know it's a Königgrätzer Marsch
And the last one I also know it's a Badenweiler Marsch

So the names of these marches would be much appreciated!

Beginning of Der Sieg Des Glaubens (Victory of Faith)? You also hear it in Triumph of the Will, but this version actually has words at the beginning. What's the name of it? Thanks in advance.

HELLO TO ALL!

Can anyone help me identify this march from the one and only "Triumph des Willens"? It is in the scene entitled: "Nighttime Rally of Political Leaders". The march begins at the cut where the camera pans down from the night-time sky onto Albert Speer's "Sea of Flags" at the Nuremberg Rally and the tune to the march goes something like this:

D-duh-duh...d-d-duh-duh-d-duh-duuh...d-d-duh-duh-d-duh-duh! D-d-duh-duh-d-DUH! DUH! D-DUH!"

[Ivan Ž.]

D-duh-duh...d-d-duh-duh-d-duh-duuh...d-d-duh-duh-d-duh-duh! D-d-duh-duh-d-DUH! DUH! D-DUH!"

00:56:58 Kürassiermarsch „Großer Kurfürst“ [AM III, 142] (Walter von Simon)

Greetings,

Regarding Ernst Hanfstaengl, he was known mostly as a composer of marches and fight songs (for his alma mater Harvard University). He is credited for "Oberaufsicht und Musik" in the titles of Hans Westmar. But there is another music credit: Becce, for "Musikleitung u-Mustrierung". Musikleitung means conductor, but I am not familiar with the term "Mustrierung". Perhaps someone here can help provide the meaning.

Becce is undoubtedly Giuseppe Becce, a serious classical musician and long-time composer for German cinema. The quite moving opening theme of Hans Westmar does not sound like the kind of music usually identified with Hanfstaengl. I believe it is possibly written by Becce. Can anyone provide some knowledge of this issue? Thank you. Great forum, by the way!

The Jugend trauert version I personally prefer is that of the Hans Westmar film itself.

I agree that the opening music of Hans Westmar is a superior composition. I questioned the authorship of Hanfstaengl, but a comment on a YouTube post of the piece says: [More than questionable quote removed. Please refrain yourself from quoting unknown YouTube users. Ivan Ž.]

It is absolutely not Becce's, it is a well known Hanfstaengl's composition.

so there is a first SA-Lieder-Potpourri ? On which record ?

The first "SA-Lieder-Potpourri" was composed by Harry Seidel and can be found on several records: Telefunken A 1527 (Woitschach), Kristall 2081 (Woitschach), Hakenkreuz-Platte 2002 (Fuhsel), Gloria GO-10850 (SS-Standarte 36), Grammophon 2 25202 (S. Sturmbann 12), Grammophon C 2409 (LSSAH).

Greetings, here is a clip from Richard Osward's 1931 film, Der Hauptmann von Köpenick-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jADbexqfQSQ

I know this film is really from the Weimar Republic, rather than the Third Reich, but music is music.
Can anyone here help me identify the march played during the credits?

The musical director is not credited, so I do not get the impression this march was written specially for the film.

Some of you may have seen the later film versions of Der Hauptmann von Köpenick, from 1956 and 1997-
this particular march is not heard in either of them, only the first 1931 film.

If anyone recognises the tune, please let me know.
Thanks.

[Ivan Ž.]

All I can tell at the moment is that it has Bellmann's "Wanke nicht, mein Vaterland!" (Schleswig-Holstein meerumschlungen...) melody in trio (it starts at 1:01).

Cheers,
Ivan

[sal3891]

Ivan, many thanks, an excellent start. The slower melody played in that opening march scene is beautiful and I'm glad to have a name for it now.

If anyone has any ideas about the faster first tune, please share. A flattened 6th chord can be heard at the end of the B section of the mystery march, which isn't something you hear in every German march, (and is more commonplace in other musical styles such as American ragtime.)

The music certainly has a good humour to it, and it think it is well-suited to this film.

The use of the Schleswig-Holstein meerumschlungen in the trio interests me. I wonder if this incorporation was just for this particular arrangement, or if the mystery march was in fact originally written with this as the trio?

It was of course quite common for these composers to incorporate pre-existing tunes in their marches, as did Piefke with the Hohenfriedeberger in the slow section of his own Königgrätzer Marsch.
