Programme notes: The Parade March by Anton Ambrosch: A Small Masterpiece of Military Music Anton Ambrosch's "Parade March" is one of the outstanding works of military music and is characterized by its characteristic melody and rhythmic conciseness. Anton Ambrosch, who served as bandmaster of the famous "57th" Regiment, composed this march, which was originally known as the Garrison March. Today, the march enjoys great popularity and is frequently performed by brass bands. Ambrosch's work was created at a time when military marches played a central role in troop music. These pieces of music were often intended not only for military parades and mustering, but also served to strengthen the pride and sense of unity of the regiments. Thus, the "Parade Parade March" was initially known under the title "57th Regimental March," which indicates the composer's affiliation and the regiment that was dear to his heart. The march has since established a firm place in the repertoire of wind bands and is played not only at festive occasions, but also at competitions and concerts. The "Parade Parade March" impresses with its clear formal language. Its characteristic main theme unfolds with a powerful presence and is accompanied by striking rhythms. Ambrosch knew how to create variety in the various sections of the march. The second part of the piece, in particular, attracts attention, as it was also rediscovered as part of Anton Rosenkranz's 1886 march "Mit Sack und Pack." These musical quotations and borrowings are typical of the period and testify to a lively exchange between composers. Hans Kliment's arrangement for intermediate wind orchestra A particularly successful aspect of the "Parade-Defiliermarsch" is Hans Kliment's arrangement for wind orchestra. Kliment, himself an experienced arranger and composer, adapted the work to meet the specific requirements and possibilities of a wind orchestra. His arrangement preserves the characteristic elements of the original while simultaneously enhancing the richness of sound typical of a wind orchestra. Through the sophisticated and diverse instrumentation, Kliment's arrangement allows the orchestra to better bring out the dynamic nuances of the march, making the piece accessible to intermediate musicians and giving it a new lease of life. Kliment's work has enabled the march to establish itself not only in military music but also in the field of classical wind orchestra performances.
