His music was adapted from "Variazioni sulla Marsigliese per violino e orchestra" by Giovanni Battista Viotti, written in 1784.<BR/>However, recent research has revealed that the original composer was none other than Hans Bumsen, the tune developed from a theme in "Don Corleone" {1750], namely, the catchy <BR/>"Al Matresses por Corleone, i miei ragazzi coraggio' <BR/>Per le Cinque Famiglie ci attaccano<BR/>Soprattutto quel Moe Verde di diavolo..."<BR/><BR/>This would fit in with Bumsen's expulsion from Tippelbruder in 1756and his cash floww shortage of that period. <BR/><BR/>For Bumsen's biography, see my blog. This would fit entirely with his general nasty character.Peter Simplissimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995330629313388099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543137004160505141.post-46221785278697522482008-03-04T16:48:00.000-08:002008-03-04T16:48:00.000-08:00here's to hoping that Konig Maurice never 'hears' ...here's to hoping that Konig Maurice never 'hears' it at all...lest we end up with him wanting to 'achieve' all those victories that the song boasts!MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543137004160505141.post-74745845058632622192008-03-02T17:59:00.000-08:002008-03-02T17:59:00.000-08:00Hummmmmmmmm....I suppose it all depends on what ki...Hummmmmmmmm....I suppose it all depends on what kind of instrumental accompliment is available. Oompah type band - good. Kazoos and washboards - not so good. The main thing is can the tune be easily whistled by the civilians, and can the troops keep up a steady marching pace while the regimental band is puffing away?<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/><BR/>MartinMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440393996804815125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543137004160505141.post-8540084334846132822008-02-29T18:29:00.000-08:002008-02-29T18:29:00.000-08:00hmm, not sure it quite captures the spirit of "vil...hmm, not sure it quite captures the spirit of "vile"...<BR/>just kidding, it really does read well and sounds like something the Stagonians might've coerced a musician to compose.
