Programme notes: The march "Kopal-Jäger" by Johann Holzinger is a musical work that is closely linked to the tradition and history of the Lower Austrian Military Police Battalion to Wheel No. 3. This march carries not only the sonorous melody, but also the spirit and honor of the copal hunters, who play an important role in the military and cultural history of Austria. The Lower Austrian Military Police Battalion to Wheel No. 3 took on the traditional task of the copal hunters long before the march "Copal Hunters" was composed. The Copal Hunters were a legendary unit known for their bravery, dedication and determination. In 1923, the Military Police Battalion No. 3 was officially given responsibility for maintaining the tradition of the copal hunters, which expressed the deep connection and appreciation for this historical task. This recognition was also reflected in the composition of the march "Copal Hunters", which served as a tribute to the bravery and dedication of the copal hunters. Johann Holzinger, a renowned Austrian composer, created the march "Copal Hunters" as a musical portrait of the copal hunters and their traditional history. The melody of the march is characterized by a solemn yet powerful atmosphere that brings the spirit of the copal hunters to life. The awarding of the name "Kopal" to the Feldjäger Battalion No. 3 in 1928 underlines the special importance and appreciation that this unit received. The "Kopal Hunters" march became a symbol of the strength, cohesion and pride of this military unit and found its way into the repertoire of many military and wind orchestras. Today, the "Copal Hunters" march not only commemorates the brave copal hunters of bygone times, but also the tradition and commitment of the men of the Military Police Battalion No. 3. Johann Holzinger's music is a living testimony to the historical and cultural significance Diversity of Austria as well as the soldiers' unshakable connection to their history and tradition.
