Thumping studio version of same 18th Hussars March. Masterful triple tonguing (Hippie alert! @ 1:00 mins):

a famous infantry march, for some reason, done by a mounted band

not horse related but observe first rank right after music ends with resultant muttering behind the camera - 'someone's gonna get special attention'.

Excellent!

Someone went 'shoulder arms' instead of 'trail arms.' I will bet the Haupfeldwebel took an interest in that.

This has nothing to do with horses, but I have always liked

First is not cavalry but good march music and the officer's horses are interesting including the one who acted up directly in front of the Emperor.

That was a movie, but this is not. This is the very last time the Austrian Kaiser Hymn, later used as Deutchland Uber Alles, was sung for an Austrian crown prince, the heir of the Emperor for whom it was written:

If you have the patience to go through the various segments of the funeral, it is very interesting overall. It is literally the last Imperial ceremony and ritual of middle and eastern Europe.

These are Austrians. Their pace is strange, it is a ‘sort of’ goosestep.

Isn’t the melody for ‘Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser’ also used as a church hymn?

We are getting way out of the saddle but yes, it is even in the Catholic hymnal. Glorious Things - here with curiously German visuals given its religious context, i.e., no refrains.

Has not been played at my parish since Aug, 2014 after which I commented to the organist of the stark coincidence and its relationship to the Hapsburg anthem. Shall have to find him when the virus thing is over and lobby him to retread it.

BTW, in the German historical vein, this was a "liberal" 1848ish song. The composer of the German lyrics was confined for a time by the King of Prussia. Did not become the German national anthem until the dysfunctional liberal Weimar period.

Very nicely done! Not the lyrics I remember, but great none-the-less.

Yeah! Lean on him to get it back. It isn’t that hard to sing, either.

This is one of my favorite German songs, and its message is as applicable today as it was in 1809 when it was written. I choke every time I hear it.
