A march as a musical genre is a piece of music with a strong regular rhythm which in origin was expressly written for marching to and most frequently performed by a military band. In mood marches range from the moving death march in Wagner’s Götterdämmerung to the brisk military marches of John Philip Sousa and the martial hymns of the late 19th century.
