Oh no! It is a combination of the German ,,Huntsmen's Chorus" and the Italian Song . Sorry, but the German composer Carl-Maria von Weber wrote ,,Der Freischütz", a romantic opera which it is part of . It is famous all over the world and a favourite especially with Light Infantry and Jäger formations. It reflects the history and good relations between British and German marksmen dating back more than 200 years.. The King's Royal Rifle Corps!
I'm ex 1 RGJ (1977 - 1985) before i transferred to the Army Air Corps. Still love this piece of music. Happy memories of passing off at Peninsula Barracks in Winchester in 1977.

I met some of the bandsmen of the Howards in 1967 during their visit for Canadas centenary celebrations. They were barracked at Camp Gagetown. We even tried to play football against them. They qickly took the Mickey out of us! Hahaha!
The Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wale’s Own Yorkshire Regiment; 19th Regiment of Foot) were a Yorkshire infantry Regiment who formed part of the Kings Division. It was raised in 1688. These are now known as ‘The Yorkshire Regiment’. The Royal Green Jackets were formed in 1966 from an amalgamation of The Green Jacket Brigade consisting of: The Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light infantry, The King’s Royal Rifle Corps and The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consorts Own) all with a combined history stretching back to 1759. They formed part of the Light Division. These are now known as ‘The Rifles’.
