@@desertrat9937 Question! Are you familiar with German military music?? Could you settle a ...how to say?...a dispute for me? "UNSER LIEBE FRAUEN" is a "Ladsknecht Lied" - right? Is it a CATHOLIC song? ...for me "Unser Liebe Frauen vom Kaltem Bronnen, etc." sounds a DAMN LOT like a sort of tribute to the (indirectly) "Mother Of God" or - eventually - to some sort of "statue" or "representation" of her, somewhere along the German countryside.
@@2serveand2protect Hey! I'm quite flattered that you ask me on this. Indeed I know quite a bit about German military music as well as history and can already confirm this, it is indeed directed towards the Mother of Jesus, Marie. In the song, first stanza, they mention "vom kalten Bronnen". This refers to a place called Kaltenbrun and is also the sigh of a statue of Marie, where the people in the area would go to pray. During the war, the song was created based on prayers they already had and simply speaks of how they ask Marie to help them in their trying times. It is almost safe to say that the song originates out of the area of Kaltenbrun and speaks for their harsh times of the war. So, in conclusion, you are right, the song is dedicated to a statue of Marie and herself of course. Hope this does help in your "dispute"!
Opening tune, I remember it well it is a German Military march, often during the changing of the Berlin East German Guard this was played and also the West Germann military played it. Cold War Era.
Je suis français et amateur de musiques napoléoniennes, mais n'étant pas rancunier vis-à-vis des tuniques rouges je trouve cet ensemble fort agréable à voir défiler et à écouter jouer une jolie musique entraînante. 😊👍 Le premier air ne serait-il pas prussien, par hasard ? 🤔
Craig Thanks for the upload. I have a question for you. I'm 45 but I always dreamed of being a drummer in a regimental band. Is it too late for me to learn or is this really something for youngsters?
😂I love the Ulster influence. You can go to Antrim, Down or even Southport in England and see a similar scene today. I just realised that they even have the orange lodge signs on the money. Those ulster British men really did build the civilised world.🇬🇧🇺🇸
Lovely drumming, proper drumming and fifing, would love these young people to be in our parades on the Glorious Twelfth of July in Ulster, my father in law was a lambeg drum maker, we skinned a great many goats together, who does it in your State?
On a battlefield of that time, I'd feel more afraid of those marching and playing slowly and with calm discipline, than those doing so quickly. They'll kill you in due time.
@@craigjc3 they didn’t wear Enemy colors they wore their regiments colors, if their regiments facings were red, musicians coats were red, if their white their coats where white, it’s not to distinguish them to the enemy it’s so their officers can pick them out from a crowed of men wearing the same cloths
On my father's side my ancestors were red coats. On my mother's side they were rebels. My ancestors were killing each other and I managed to come out of that alive. I had multiple ancestors on the Mayflower.
They are American, the regiments musicians used opposite colors than the soldiers. For ex: American soldiers wore blue coats with red facings, so the musicians here are wearing the opposite: red coats with blue facings, it was to distinguish them from regular soldiers as non-combatants.
Musicians at that time used to wear the reversed colors of their regiment/army. The Continental Army uniform was blue with red lapels; so the musicians wear red with blue lapels instead. This was to signal their non-combatant status.
@@elfrank333 Drum and Fife members wore the opposite colors to distinguish themselves from armed infantry. Most of your drum and fife members were boys under 16, and the rare man over 50. The opposite colors also allowed their fellow infantry to follow their movements on the battle since the drum and fife were used to relay commands to the infantry.
Craig C No, musicians wore the inverted colours of their regiment. e.g American infantry had mainly blue on their coats with red facings, so their musicians wore red coats with blue facings as seen in the video. It was not to confuse the enemy, it was to show that they were non-combatants.
The Line US Army troops wore BLUE COATS , FACED red. GENERAL WASHINGINGTON ordered that his musicians wear RED COATS with blue facings! The opposite of LINE TROOPS.
In that time musicians were not soldiers witch means they should not be targeted, to make sure of this each regiment had there own musicians. The and each regiment had there own color “facings” facings are the lapel, cuffs, and collar, the color of the coat and facings of the musicians and soldiers are switch, so the regiments that had blue coats with red facings, there musicians would have red coats with blues facings, my re-enacting regiment has blue coats with white facings so our musicians have white coats with blue facings, the British also used this method

@@davidwarner3326 only Royal regiments wore blue facings, and they were the only ones who’s musicians didn’t were reversed colors, they still had red coats
Yes, and? Musicians in the colonial period wore reverse colors from the line units. First to identify them as non combatants to the enemy, and second, to make them easier to find by commanders to relay commands. The Virginia regiment wore blue coats with red facings- so the Fifer's and drummers wore red coats with blue facings. Note the non musician carrying the flag is in a blue coat. You'll notice the same thing if you look at the US Army 3rd Infantry "Old Guard" ceremonial unit. British units did the same thing- you'd find drummers in white coats with red facing, or yellow coat with red facing, or green coat with red facings; depending on the regiment.

Excellent performance. Brilliant reminder of history. Thanks. ❤
Awesome! Snare drums are beautiful!
I love this, it's great!! Congrats Caden!
My favorite when visiting Williamsburg ❤
This looks so badass.
Beautiful rendering of the Yorclscher marsch composed by the great Ludwig van Beethoven.👍
Like it or not this how it all began over there! and I as an English man are as pround of it as you are over there.
absolutely beautiful
Thanks for watching
That is the general York march (yorkscher marsch)
I love this.
Any chance of getting a set list?
That clearly is the Yorkscher march from Beethoven. Look it up.

Yeah it is.
nothing like drumming your way through fresh horse apples. what a great band
where can i get a fife like that
Amazing!
Loved the redcoats drumming they did very well and were very stylish as well in red weren’t they right guys!
We are Americans musicians wore the opposite colors to distinguish the musicians
For something similar,may I direct you to the Orange parades on The Twelfth (of July) in Northern Ireland.
the way it should be dammit 2024!
The long slender bag is it for your fife, what company makes it for you ? I would love to get one , even a used one
Thank you
What company makes the bag that you have draped across your chest, do you have a pouch to carry your fife in ? Thank you, Ron in WA.
March in honor of General FeldMarschall Ludwig Graf Yorck von Wartenburg Ludwig van Beethoven

And at 21:34, Yankee Doodle
Would this still be intimidating nowadays for an army or not?
Indirect fire and automatic weaponry would indicate not always.
However, Bill Millin is proof of the power of the instrument on the battlefield...
These young people are fantastic! Wondering where they are from...some of them are so young but all did a great job!!!

Who was the one who was always shown to the camera and asked to speak at the end?
This was a Graduation March for Caden Cunningham, so he was the one who spoke at the end.

Thanks for the upload. I have a question for you.
I'm 45 but I always dreamed of being a drummer in a regimental band. Is it too late for me to learn or is this really something for youngsters?
mmarsh1972 Its never too late. Get your self some sticks and a drum pad. Practice your basic 26 rudiments. Good luck!
@@craigjc3 Yourself is one word, and I know your comment is 1 year old

Germans did the real work. Both music and the Reformation were given to you by them. Just think of Handel!
Does it hurt to yell over all the drums?
I think Caden was a little horse after this march.
How old was Caden when he first started with the corps?
10. All applicants must be exactly 10 years old in order to join and there is a waiting list from parents who signed their kids before they turned 10.

Beethoven's Yorckscher Marsch, but too slow. The band is marching at 98 steps per minute. The German marching frequency is 114.
On a battlefield of that time, I'd feel more afraid of those marching and playing slowly and with calm discipline, than those doing so quickly. They'll kill you in due time.
By coincidence when this was posted Britain had just voted for OUR Independence Day, freedom from the EU.
23rd June 2016.
Are they military?
No. They are school aged kids employed by Colonial Williamsburg.
The Musician in me says this is amazing but my patriotic blood says otherwise 😂
They are part of the Colonial American Army. Musicians wore the enemy's colors so they would not be fired upon.

Same. One side of my British family were loyalists. Another side was in the continental army.
And my husband is a mayflower descendant through his dad.

Most of the American soldier’s leaders, trainers and commanders were Prussian officers.

These are Americans
