Programme notes: Essay about Baron Theobald von Seyffertitz and the "Seyffertitz March" attributed to him Baron Theobald von Seyffertitz was an important personality who was valued in military and cultural circles. Seyffertitz was not only a military official, but also a passionate promoter of music. His commitment to cultural development in Austria is also evident in the musical culture of the early 20th century. The connection between Seyffertitz and music is particularly evident in the "Seyffertitz March", a composition created by the Austrian composer Rudolf Achleitner. The march, which originally appeared in the 1920s, bears Seyffertitz's name as a tribute to his services, both as a military man and as a promoter of youth and music. The musical honor bestowed on him underlines not only his fame, but also society's appreciation for his contribution to cultural education. Hans Kliment's arrangement of the march brings Achleitner's original sonic qualities to new heights. Kliment, known for his ability to put orchestral works in a new light, has given the march a fresh interpretation that both conveys Achleitner's original intention and incorporates modern elements. In this arrangement, the military severity of the march is combined with a sense of solemnity and respect, which does justice to Seyffertitz's personality and celebrates his services as a commander and patron. Musically, the "Seyffertitz March" displays the typical characteristics of a march that is both marchesque and celebratory. Strong rhythms, striking melodies and the use of wind instruments characterize the composition and reflect the tradition of military music, while at the same time embodying the elegance and demand for musical quality that was valued in Seyffertitz's time. The effect this music has on the listener is as striking as the figure of the Baron himself - a representation of strength and grace. When considering the march, the question arises as to the historical and cultural context in which this music was created. The Association for the Promotion of Military Music in the 1920s helped to preserve and reinterpret the cultural heritage of the Austrian military tradition. Music became an important part of identity formation, both for the military and for the civilian population. In this sense, the "Seyffertitz March" illustrates the interrelationship between the military and civil society and the role of music as a connecting element. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
