Programme notes: Field Marshal Ludwig Andreas von Khevenhüller and the Khevenhüller March: A Musical Homage Field Marshal Ludwig Andreas von Khevenhüller occupies a prominent position in the history of Austrian military leadership. Born in Linz in 1683, he rose to become one of the most respected officers in the service of the Habsburg Monarchy. He became particularly well-known for his military successes during the War of the Austrian Succession. Empress Maria Theresa awarded him the coveted Order of the Golden Fleece for his services. Khevenhüller was not only a strategic genius, but also a symbol of the pride and tradition of the Austro-Hungarian military, especially of Infantry Regiment No. 7, of which he was the regimental commander from 1888. Carinthia's deep-rooted military tradition found musical expression in the "Khevenhüller March," a work by the composer Anton Friedrich. The march, also known for its catchy melody and festive structure, is not only an expression of military discipline but also a tribute to the officer corps of the Imperial and Royal Infantry Regiment No. 7. It was first performed on June 24, 1889, in the magnificently decorated Knight's Hall of Hochosterwitz Castle, a historic site known for its significance in Carinthian history. This date was not chosen by chance; it fell on the anniversary of the Battle of Custozza in 1866, an event of great importance for the regiment. Of particular note is the ceremonial wreathing of the portrait of Ludwig Andreas von Khevenhüller that took place on this day. This ceremony emphasized the veneration and respect shown for the Field Marshal and demonstrates how closely military history is intertwined with Carinthia's culture and identity. Hans Kliment's arrangement of the "Khevenhüller March" for junior wind orchestra ensures that this important work is accessible to younger musicians. Kliment, known for his sensitive arrangements and ability to simplify complex musical content, allows students to immerse themselves in the tradition of military music. This arrangement not only fosters the musicality of the next generation but also raises awareness of the rich cultural and historical connections that characterize Carinthia and the Austrian military. An important element of the tradition surrounding the "Khevenhüller March" is the annual commemoration ceremony held at Hochosterwitz Castle on the anniversary of its premiere. This event attracts not only veterans and members of the regiment, but also history buffs and music lovers from throughout the Carinthia region. During the celebration, the march is performed by both wind orchestras and traditional military bands, creating a connection between past and present. The sounds recall the regiment's glory days and awaken pride in Carinthia's military history. Highlights of the event include a ceremonial address honoring Khevenhüller's distinguished achievements. Eyewitness accounts will also be presented, conveying personal experiences and anecdotes about the Field Marshal and his era. This blend of music, poetry, and historical narrative strengthens the participants' emotional connection to their cultural identity. It testifies to a tireless effort to keep the memory of a significant figure and his influence on national identity alive.
