Napoleonic Fife and Drum Tunes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2024
- At the END of a day's worth of practice we decided to record ourselves. Please bear in mind that we are both novices, i have been playing the fife for 6 months (2months with my new fife) and the drummer has 2 months experience.
We both have no teachers so we rely on ourselves for the most part.
This is the 4th time we played together and half of the songs shown here we had played together for the first time that day.
Anyway, hopefully it'll be somewhat enjoyable ;)
Leeve de Koning en het 7de!
Good job, guys. To all the negative Nellies commenting here, the drum would typically sound like that back in those days. I don't think this particular drum even has snare strands installed. Yeah sure, he might be able to tighten the ropes a bit, but who cares really? THIS is how they sounded a couple hundred years ago.
Whatever criticism people might level at them, the fact is that most drummers and fifers during the Napoleonic wars would have sounded very much like this. Few of them were skilled musicians, most could probably not read sheet music and had to learn it by rote from another musician. It is *Field Music* after all, and not a band.
There are drums from 18th century with snares installed in museums. It's just that not every drum had these. And they were made of twisted gut, not metal strings like today. So they had to sound a bit different.
Martin Hartley yeah and if they were skilled it would be a waste cuz they could have easily die
@@hartleymartin They would still have chosen men with rhythm though. This drummer has none.
@@MadCapMag Well to be fair most soldiers didn’t have a metronome
Yes, it needs work....but..... this is how they mostly sounded. Love it!!!!
woof woof woof.
oh my god that's it! We need a british borkineers song!
An injured cat! Woof!
@@MtnLiner Sir I think that's a cow
Poetic
COMAPNY PRESENT ARMS!
MAKE READY!
FIRE ON THE FURRY WEEB!
"YOU ALL MISSED?!?!"
Now all it needs is the sounds of musket volleys, cavalry stampeding and men screaming
im pretty sure the guys playing the music in the army back during the days were novices as well
They trained the musicians
No. They were usually older men and well trained.
@@nikolairostov3326 drummers were, but fifes were usually younger boys
I love how the drum and the fife give the battlefield ambience
Me daughter just got a Fife for her birthday today, she's surprisingly good at the first and last tunes. I don't think she's ever heard either before, but I'm a fan of traditional and martial music... A year of flute probably helped with that.
Excellent job, as a reenactor, I love having the right gear with the right costuming and music.
Excellent effort well done lads
I've been looking for a video of just one fifer and one drummer. Good to know that it's out there and I really admire your guys' work. Keep it up
The '7de Bataljon Infanterie van Linie' aka the 7th Battalion Line Infantry. A Southern Netherlands ("Belgian") Regiment
EXCELLENT!!!! :D This is like an anthology video of my favorite songs!!!!
Epic. Nicely done lads.
Greatly preformed lads
This is how is was....well done, lads. Thank you!
the dog really said “Hey i wanna have a part in it!”
Well done! Not perfect, but very good. A big thumbs up for you two! :D
Well done indeed to the pair of you. 😊
The second tune is named "Lilliburlero" for english people or "Marche du Prince d'Orange" for french people. Another version for fifes and drums here:

And a lot of ressources about french fifes and drums on "Fifres et tambours de Fréjus" youtube channel.

Vive le roi.

Sorry for the late response.
But Thanks, much appreciated :-)
Indeed, hope to see you on the battlefield.
Cheers!
Sorry for the late response.
Thanks :) It's a Napoleonic greatcoat as used by the Dutch-Belgians. I assume it is indeed strictly of that period, but I'm not an expert on patterns and such, so I can't tell you much more I'm afraid. Cheers.
Excellent work!
This is on Terry Davis's playlist
I'm going through Terry's playlist now. Was waiting to come across a fellow Terry traveller.
Indeed it is. It's a model F fife in Bb, grenadilla wood & short ferrules
Where can I buy one of those Fifes?
Amazon bruh
@@punyapatsuttikul5841 lmao
@@kinggeorgeiii7515 Where do we get one like these then?
Dog barking to the British Grenadiers song on fife and drum?
Now that’s soldiering…
People complaining about drums, the drums sound accurate to my knowledge. Remember everything always sounds different on camera.
Also, some interesting variations on The Girl I Left Behind Me and British Grenadiers. Never heard them before, keeps it interesting.
It doesn’t have a snare
you shoud do more stuff like this!
I think that music is for the other part of the battlefield. Vive le roi!!!! ;-p
Greetings Lowie.
WOW! awsome ! buetifull tunes! GREAT JOB
I wanna play the “woof woof” instrument...
Thank you very much.
Greetings Lowie.
Very good -- Great tunes .
Well done lads
You lads had a lot of courage to post this, much respect. I really want to learn fife myself. Any good places to buy them?
This is pretty late, but if you want a good cheap fife to start on, I recommend you check out beafifer.com. You can get a very nice sounding plastic fife through them for $10
Great!! Fantastic Music!!!
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Mates this is really good
Smashing tunes!
Dog be like '' The british are coming! ''
It's the italians...
THE ITALIANS ARE COMING!
well played
Good job!! It was good!
Thank you indeed.
Greetz Lowie Lombaert.
Vive le roi.
Never, not even over my cold dead body will you ever hear me shout "Vive L'empereur!"!
Down with Boney!Leve de Koning!Vive Le Roi! ;-D
But I will accept your music, one must learn to know his enemies ;-)
+ I hope to put more Dutch(-Belgian) marches on RUclips. Because they're really rarely heard of on the internet.
Bien à vous, camarade
Hear, Hear!
hehe thanks Cumbas, we actually know some french pieces (but from the early to mid 1700's) but we have to practice more. If you to hear french imperial music from us you'll have to wait quite some time but who knows ;-)
Away with Bonaparte! ;-p
Please continue ur Music
Keep it up guys!
What is the song on the end of the video?
Yes, Mr. Murray. Cooperman is a good place to start.
I'll tell my neighbours to shut him up next time.... Haha.
Greetz Lowie.
Hey guys, if you enjoy this kind of stuff and also games, try to play a game called "Holdfast: Nations at war"
The British grenadiers at the start
U guys r good at this
I applaud your ambition. keep working on your skills.
That's the way lads
With that sound it would be a small battle ;)
@cartoonman12345 I don't know where the drum originally came from, because he got it from our re-enactment unit; but I'm planning to buy one myself. I suggest you google "cooperman fife drum" and "military heritage drum" to help you on your way
I am a reenactor from the Austrian Grenadiers, and as i saw we mostly use this Type of drums. I am sure this is an Austrian drum :)
Thanks indeed.
Greetz Lowie.
Great, Love it
Can you guys put up a tutorial on how to play the British grenadiers im trying to learn it.
Great playing guys.
What is the name of that piece sung at the end?
De notre jeune Roi
Why thank you, Bonny ;-)
Laten we 't houden op ne misverstand. Gij dacht da je et 2 keer moest spelen en ik dacht da je et maar 1 keer ging spelen (et beginstuk.).
Greetz Lowie Lombaert.
Aan vorst en vaderland gewijdt.
nice
Congratulations !!
Company, march !
Inderdaad :D
Jesus where have I landed?
Thanks
Ma jebt ne beetje gelijk, ik vergat iedere keer om et eerste stuk nog ne ki te spelen. Ma gij ebt wel ne noot vergeten bij "The British Grennadiers" ;-p.
Lowie Lombaert.
Vive le France! Vive!
Where did you get your fife from?, i like the sound
Plotwist: Time Traveller Filmed this Video
it's the music from the french units in NTW, cool
Novices? Well you do a good job.
Euh eig wel, 1: te vroeg ingesprongen, 2: slagen vergeten :p ik heb aan de andere hand wel een paar valse noten ertussen zitten ^^
Thnx en vantzelfste
Vive LE Roi!
if it did the march of the French old guard would make it even better
Fore score and seven years. Ago... No complaints from me.
British grenadiers?
GENOCIDE HAS A PERMANENT NEUROLOGICAL COMPONENT once it COMPLETELY REGISTERS WITHIN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Sure, i'll PM you
Fifer, your coat is fantastic.
Is that pattern strictly early 19th century?
angusfifes. -- large selection of instruments
nice work, sounds great! what type of fife is that? (what key as well)
Nice
What is that last song called as in the french one the Royalist song
De notre jeune Roi possibly
Wake the neighbor's dogs! More ripping drum rolls and a thundering bass would do wonders. Great fife though!

Gem
I like it, but are the drums in sync with the audio or is the recording not matching it from 5:07 onwards
Me and the boys 7 graders VS 9 graders
