This is a fife and drum arrangement I made of the Swedish march "Finska rytteriets marsch" ("March of the Finnish Cavalry"), a popular march that is also known under its German name "Marsch der Finnländischen Reiterei". It has an uncertain origin, the earliest confirmed source dates from the late 18th century, while tradition says that it stems from the 30 Years War, where it is supposed to have been played in the army of Gustavus Adolphus II. One thing that is more certain is the current version with its trio part in the middle, dates from around 1870. Despite this, I decided to include it in this arrangement as it is so well known.
The image shows Gustavus Adolphus as the victor of the Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631. It was painted in 1632 by the German painter Johann Jacob Walter.
Enjoy!
