Programme notes: "The Bosniaks are coming" by Eduard Wagnes: A homage to the Bosnian-Herzegovinian infantry regiments A march that not only captured the rhythm of the soldiers, but also the hearts of the spectators - the march "The Bosniaks are Coming" by Eduard Wagnes. On the memorable August 28, 1895, Graz witnessed a triumphant entry, accompanied by the powerful sounds of this musical masterpiece. The history of this march is closely linked to the formation of the first Bosnian-Herzegovinian infantry regiments in January 1894. When the regiments were founded, the talented composer Eduard Wagnes also found his calling as bandmaster for the 2nd Regiment. It was this commitment that paved the way for the creation of the famous march. The title "The Bosniaks are coming" contains the essence of the new units that emerged in Austria-Hungary at that time. These regiments, composed of Bosnian and Herzegovinian soldiers, embodied a new facet of the empire's military strength. The Wagnes March was not just a musical performance, but a tribute to the bravery and dedication of these troops. On the day in question, August 28, 1895, Wagnes entered Graz with his regimental band. The streets echoed with the powerful sounds of the march "The Bosniaks are coming" as the soldiers marched forward in proud formation. The atmosphere was charged with a mixture of awe and admiration for the newly formed units and their musical accompaniment. The march itself is a masterpiece of late 19th century military music. Its dynamic rhythms and majestic melodies embody the pride and power of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian regiments. Under the leadership of Eduard Wagnes, the march quickly gained popularity not only within military circles, but also among the civilian population. The performance of the march marked a significant moment in the history of Austria-Hungary. It was not just a musical celebration, but a symbol of the diversity and strength of the empire. Through Eduard Wagnes's sonorous interpretation, this march became an anthem of unity and pride for the Bosnian-Herzegovinian military. In the years that followed, the march "The Bosniaks are Coming" would become an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian military music tradition. His legacy would endure through the decades, inspiring generations of soldiers and civilians. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Tags: Repertory of the marches
