HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
In France:
At the end of the 15th century, the first corps of musicians were created. They marched at the head of the troops to accompany them, transmit orders, but also to entertain the soldiers in the camp. The instruments used were drums to give orders, trumpets and timpani, as well as fifes (a wind instrument similar to a flute) for melodies. At the same time, war songs were composed for each campaign or battle.
At the end of the 19th century, the high costs of campaigns led to a reduction in the number of musicians. In addition, the latter were no longer only hired for their musical skills, but were used, for example, as stretcher-bearers. At the beginning of the 20th century, each formation was composed of 38, then 58 musicians, with a leader and a sub-leader. The "Aux morts" ringtone composed by Pierre Dupont was played for the first time at the Arc de Triomphe on July 14, 1931. The Republican Guard fanfare was created in 1934 and the Air Band in 1936.
