March (music)
A march, as a musical genre, is a piece of music with a strong regular rhythm which in origin was expressly written for marching to and most frequently performed by a military band. In mood, marches range from the moving death march in Richard Wagner, Wagner's ''Götterdämmerung'' to the brisk military marches of John Philip Sousa and the martial hymns of the late 19th century. Examples of the varied use of the march can be found in Ludwig van Beethoven, Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven), ''Eroica'' Symphony, in the Three Marches Militaires (Schubert), Marches Militaires of Franz Schubert, in the Marche funèbre in Frédéric Chopin, Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 (Chopin), Sonata in B flat minor, the "''Jäger March''" in the by Jean Sibelius, and in the Dead March in George Frideric Handel, Handel's ''Saul (Handel), Saul''.

Vegetius, the author of the only surviving treatise on the Roman Empire's military, '' De Re Militari'', recognized the importance of: constant practice of marching quick and together.

For troops who march in an irregular and disorderly manner are always in great danger of being defeated. They should march with the common military step twenty miles in five summer-hours, and with the full step, which is quicker, twenty-four miles in the same number of hours.

Military March (anthem)
"Vajacki marš" ( be, Ваяцкі марш, ; "March of the Warriors"), also known by its first line "My vyjdziem ščylnymi radami" ( be, Мы выйдзем шчыльнымі радамі; "Come, We Shall March in Joint Endeavour"), was the national anthem of the short-lived Belarusian Democratic Republic that existed from 1918-1919. History The lyrics of the song were first published in 1919 in Minsk, in the newspaper, ''Belarus''. As the anthem of the Belarusian Democratic Republic, the song was approved in 1920, even though the republic was in exile at that time. During the Soviet rule of Belarus, the song was banned. However, there were attempts to adapt the lyrics to the communist ideology by replacing mentions of the national Belarusian white-red-white flag with those of the Soviet red banner. Throughout the 20th century, the song was actively used by pro-independence organizations of the Belarusian diaspora. After the restoration of the independence of Belarus in 1 ...
