Info

Hans Christian Lumbye was a Danish director and composer; he was born on May 2, 1810 in Copenhagen. Lumbye learned to play the violin and trumpet, had music theory lessons and early on began to write songs and marches. The musical tipping point was when Lumbye first heard the music of Joseph Lanner and Johann Strauß (father) and soon wrote in a similar style – people called him the “Nordic Strauß”. During a very successful five-month summer engagement in St. Petersburg, Lumbye composed several new pieces. There was a little ritual at his guest appearances to finish the concert with a salute to the audience. Not having an appropriate new piece, he performed a march that he had written two years earlier for the Danish Civil Guards and spontaneously titled it "Mon Salut à St. Petersbourg". The audience loved the piece. This superb march, which was originally composed for symphony orchestra, shows several special elements: The delicate introduction sounds as if the guards were marching onto the court and the trio is reminiscent of Slavic music. After the performance in St. Petersburg in 1850, the march was little known and barely played. Now it has been rediscovered and published for the first time in a version for concert band by RUNDEL Music Publications.

Hans Christian Lumbye was a Danish director and composer; he was born on May 2, 1810 in Copenhagen. During one of several boat trips with his family for his father’s military transfers, Hans Christian became sick, which probably caused his deafness in later years. Lumbye learned to play the violin and trumpet, had music theory lessons and early on began to write songs and marches. At the age of 14, he became military musician and in 1829, he asked for transfer to Copenhagen. When Lumbye was off duty, he played dance music. He also worked as a composer, wrote a lot of dance music and became a popular director for Copenhagen’s upper class. The musical tipping point was when Lumbye first heard the music of Joseph Lanner and Johann Strauß (father) and soon wrote in a similar...
