Kaiserjäger Marsch - Austrian Military March

Описание: -The Material used: Kaiserjäger (1956)

-The Kaiserjäger marsch is the traditional march of the Tyrolean Kaiserjäger and the Austrian and German mountain infantry.

In 1898 Karl Mühlberger took over the direction of the regimental music of the 1st Tyrolean Jäger Regiment in Innsbruck and composed this march in 1914. With the Kaiserjäger March, op. 42, he created one of the most famous old Austrian military marches. The text for the trio was written in 1911 by the lieutenant of the regiment Max Depolo. In this form, the march remained popular over time. He is particularly connected to the original Tyrolean Kaiserjäger music, which maintains the tradition of the k.u.k. Kaiserjäger bands.

In 1933 the German Army officially adopted the Kaiserjäger March as No. 141 in the German Army Music Collection. From 1957 until it was dissolved in 2001, the march was the traditional march of the 1st mountain division in southern Germany. It is still firmly anchored in the tradition of the German mountain troops and is performed very frequently in their public appearances. Until it was dissolved, it was officially the traditional march of the military district command IV.

However, this march still enjoys its greatest fame and popularity in Tyrol, where it can be found in almost every marching book of the music bands. There is also a Kaiserjäger march by Hermann J. Schneider, which is also still played today.
