uncommon to march reached provisions of the official march in 5 countries, and with very different political and cultural systems. However, this march is a march Lb. Russian Guards Transfiguration Regiment. Marsh is a multifaceted story.
Before Peter the Great began at age 10 in 1682, the king of Russia, he lived with his mother in the village Preobrazhenskoe near Moscow. There he created a "fun-shelf" of the sons of nobles and pridvornyh.Eti shelves later gave rise to the most aristocratic Guards new Russian army, which was created by Peter: The Transfiguration of the Life Guards regiment.
Pleasant Transfiguration march, which has a typical Russian trio in the minor must was composed by the bandmaster of the regiment until 1725 (it is not clear whether there was a march at once with a trio - petersgriff). Sample, probably served as a Russian soldier's song "Glorious were our grandfathers" (also it is not clear Tutunov wrote that did not identify which came first, but it does not matter - petersgriff). It was incorporated in 1816 in the Imperial Russian military marches under the catalog number Nr. I, 54 (one more reference, but again, the foreigners - petersgriff) and was used in this regiment as a counter-march. Transfiguration Regiment was transferred to the new capital of St. Petersburg (in beginning of the XVIII century - petersgriff).
The following 1817 he was included in later founded the Prussian AMS at number AM I, 30. He also became Präsentiermarsch in Infanterie-Regiment Graf Schwerin Nr. 14 (3. Pommersches) in Bromberg, Posen, and Pionier-Bataillon Fürst Radziwill (ostpreussisches) Nr. 1 in Köningsberg, where performed until 1914 in Russia, he was also a march 10th Novoingermanlandskogo Infantry, 147th Infantry of the Samara and Vyborg garrison infantry battalion. Then, between the Russian and German military music had strong ties. Bohemian Anton Derfeldt was in 1802-29 chiefs of all orchestras Guard, in 1830-50 the position occupied Haase Ferdinand of Prussia. He in turn was succeeded by Anton Derfeldt-son in 1850-69 years. Even in 1914, 10% of all Prussian armeemarshey were of Russian origin. Also, in the Soviet Union, this march is actively enforced, and in the GDR, he was marching honor guards.
But the march went well and in southern Europe and other Western country. King Alfonso XIII was so impressed them with his first visit to Russia that he had asked permission to Tsar Nicholas II used to march his Guardie de Alabarderos. This regiment was treated as a protection of the royal palace and the oldest regiment in Europe.
Brother Swedish Queen Louise, Lord Mountbatten, Earl of Burma, the last Viceroy of India, was a cousin of wife of King Alfonso XIII, Princess Victoria Eugenia von Battenberg, and I saw how in 1928 the English guards in their splendid uniform with his orchestra performed the Transfiguration march. At Lord Mountbatten's march, too, made such a strong impression that he had told the king that he would use the march to the Royal Marines. The King gave him the march, whose connection with him was that he was akin to the Emperor Nicholas II and the commander Life Guards Regiment, the Transfiguration, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich. The Grand Duke had the same position as Lord Mountbatten got later - Emeritus Colonel Life Guards, the most aristocratic British regiment.
When King Alfonso XIII gave to Lord Mauntbettenu march, he offered to use it (in the arrangement Vivian Dunn) in the Royal Marines as a Slow March. Chef Royal Marines, Gen. Foster, who formed a committee, but he decided that the offer must politely refuse, the decision gave the result that had formed another committee to establish a still Slow March. Conductors Royal Marines insisted that this lack of ceremonial music has been corrected. The decision was not hard, and nothing could be defined, but the committee preferred the old English song "Early one morning", by Vivian Dunn used as a trio in its composition.
Approximately when was founded the London Battalion Royal Marines, to serve on the silver jubilee in 1935, and he needed a short, slow march, which was performed by changing of the guard St James's Palace. The song "Early one morning" is good for this approach and was played at every changing of the guard. For this purpose, in London's battalion song was popular and when the slow march was taken. Vivian Dunn then decided to write a new march "Early one morning" as the first theme and the other the second theme. The march was called "The globe and laurel" (this is the emblem of Royal Marines).
why all this went on until 1942, before Lord Mountbatten allowed Orchestra of Combined Operations Command play Transfiguration march, the march to execution with the inspection of guard of honor. Since then, it played all the bands when a Lord Mountbatten as First Lord of the Admiralty, not only as music, for inspection, but the march to a solemn passage in parades, and at the ceremony "Beating Retreat". Also, US Marine Band played the march, when inspecting Lord Mountbatten, who loved pomp, luxury and medals [as they say, he was vain as a movie star]
Yet Transfiguration march has not yet become Regimental Slow March, but Mountbatten did not give up, and the 300-year anniversary of the Royal Marines in 1964 he was already being chief Defence Staff, attributed to march to the Royal Marines, where the march was quickly confirmed as the Regimental Slow March. The same thing happened with "The globe and laurel", the composer whose Viviani Dunnu at one time was asked to arrange the march. Lord Mountbatten was Colonel Commandant of the Royal Marines, commander of which was his nephew, Prince Philip, who presented a march on his birthday. Orchestra of Royal Marines and then spent the "Troop" [changing of the guard]. At 260 years earlier, in 1704, their common ancestor, Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt, commander of the Royal Marines, pristutstvoval for his biggest victory, capturing Gibraltar. In the television series "Mountbatten" home theme music - this is the Transfiguration of the march in the performance of Royal Marines.
may also mention another application of this march as a musical greeting played brass band, instead of signals from the horn, while meeting and seeing most August personages and military officers of higher rank in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. In 1909 it was found that the general to greet the first 8 bars "Transfiguration of the march, but played at a fast pace.
But Lord Mountbatten was not happy with the fact that "the Transfiguration March "was adopted as the Regimental Slow March. He was an honorary colonel in the Life Guards, and in 1970 he sought to" Transfiguration of March "is also played in the Household Cavalry and the birthday of the queen. When This Lord Mountbatten was on horseback and in full uniform. Orchestra conductor Life Guards, Anthony J. Richards, said afterwards: "It's a good march, and he is very good for horse units, if he plays in a way that begins with the second beat and just play the first 2 themes da capo and do in the third quarter and in the eighth cycle blow. "Thus it was arranged by J. Richards and performed as" Walk march "and" Trot past "[march to a solemn passage trot], but in 1979 Lord Mountbatten was killed in a attack, and march in Life Guards are no longer performed.
Marsh turns, of course, in different countries at different rates and arrangements, is used, based on them, as Slow March, Präsentiermarsch or Kavalleriemarsch.
Who is the composer, is unclear. Germans (Toeche-Mittler, and AMS) claim that the march was composed in 1816 by Ferdinand Haase Bogdanovich (1788-1851). Haase was born in Silesia and in 1810 joined the French army in Bologna, followed by Napoleon in Moscow, and was captured by Cossacks. He managed to draw on his music ability to focus his brother the king, the Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich, who introduced him to his court in Strelna. When Constantine became after the Congress of Vienna Chief of the Polish Army in Warsaw, Haase became the head of Polish military bands. In 1830 he was succeeded by Anton Derfeldtu as chief conductor Bands of the Guards in St. Petersburg. He was also director of the Military School of Music. He retired in 1850, resigned and was replaced by Anton Derfeldt-son, who to this moment for 6 years served under Haase. In 1851, Haase died in St. Petersburg. He held the rank of a collegiate adviser, was a Knight of the Order of St. Vladimir, and belonged to the community of St. Petersburg aristocracy. Among his compositions, inter alia, the marches for two of the Life Guards regiment, and Lithuanian "Marsch aus Warschau".
opinion that Ferdinand Haase wrote "The Transfiguration of March" is based on a set of errors. This march in 1817 was included in the Prussian AMS at number AM I, 30. Also in 1834, AMS was incorporated faster марш под номером AM II, 99, вероятно, сочиненный Хаазе. То, что один и тот же марш был включен дважды в каталог, дало основание полагать, что первый раз забыли отметить the author's score. Another factor to the unreliability of this version is that the authorship of AF Lviv also could occur. After all, AM II, contains 99 Russian anthem 1833, which he composed. "Song of Lvov" was then in a German translation of error is called "Lembergskom (Lviv), song, and its confused with a soldier's song "Glorious were our grandfathers", the melody is identical to the AM I, 30. Nevertheless, it has become clear only now, when compared scores AM I, 30 and AM II, 99. These recent discoveries (see "Mit klingendem Spiel ", Juni 1998) suggest that perhaps Haase orchestrated and composed the anthem of Lviv AM II, 99, but not AM I, 30, is actually" march of the Transfiguration ".
What Transfiguration march from going from the era of Peter the Great, also confirmed the opinion of the Russian opera conductor for 47 years, Edward Napravnik, which is published by the publishing house Boosey & Co. in 1896, a concert march "Peter the Great," based on "Transfiguration of the march." (it says and Tutunov, referring to the similarity of the march from the Peter notches - petersgriff)
On British notes as the composer indicated by a Donajowsky. He, according to Reg Sanders [apparently the author of some book or article] was supposed to be a composer in the 1600's [ie XVII century] and the same person, who is mentioned in the introduction. But he also writes that before the 1906 march was used only to kings, which is a blatant lie (He actually performed as early as 1889 at the Queen's birthday). In British circles also believe that the march could be of Swedish origin, probably based on the fact that Sweden and Russia often fought against each other. Perhaps it is confused with a fake "Marcia Carolus Rex".
You should also mention that when Vivian Dunn wrote "The Mountbatten March" in 1970 and the beginning of March he started at 4 bars of "Transfiguration of the march."
"Transfiguration of the march, and today is widely used in Russia. In 1988, the author of this article was in Peterhof, where the quartet of brass instruments played a flawless first Swedish national anthem, and then the "Transfiguration march ".
