Musical Repertoire Written for Military Bands. Marches

Summary/Abstract: The musical repertoire accompanying military and official ceremonies is made up of works belonging to the genres of ostrich music: marches, hymns and odes. Ceremonial performances follow clear legislative specifications and are held on national holidays. These ceremonies are held in all the major cities of the country, in the presence of official and military officials and the general public. To the sound of brass band music, the highestranking officials are honoured and troops from the area's garrisons march past. The atmosphere becomes festive, solemn, commemorative and evocative.
