Redcoat Music Suggestions

Damar · Nov 23rd 2009, 2:44pm

I'm planning on doing another Redcoat tribute, using 'Zulu' and 'Waterloo' as the main basis with some bits from 'Last of the Mohicans' and perhaps some Sharpe episodes.

My biggest problem at the moment is not having any ideas for the music to use. I already did 'British Grenadiers' and 'Over the Hills And Far Away' in the previous videos with little desire to reuse them, so I'm seeking a song, march or any piece of music that would fit with the British Redcoats or warfare in general.

Please help me before I become desperate enough to use the Colonel Bogey March

The Garryowen is a classic and was used by Irish Regiments in the British Army.

"A very early reference to the tune appears in The Life of the Duke of Wellington by Jocquim Hayward Stocqueler, published in 1853. He describes the defence of the town of Tarifa in late December 1811, during the Peninsular War. General H. Gough, later Field Marshall Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, commanding officer of the 87th Regiment (at that time known as the Royal Irish Fusiliers), after repulsing an attack by French Grenadiers "...was not, however, merely satisfied with resistance. When the enemy, scared, ran from the walls, he drew his sword, made the band strike up 'Garry Owen', and followed the fugitives for two or three hundred yards."

Can't seen anything glaringly wrong there, but it's current regiments only. I had a link to a page with every Regimental march that was officially recognised.
Personally i recommend Braganza the March of the Queens Royal Regiment.

I guess Scotland the Brave would work better for the Coldstream Guards...
