March

March music, originating in the military bands of the 15th century, is composed to keep soldiers in step whilst adding a little rhythm to their brisk walks. It typically features a strong, bold beat that could nearly make you forget you're marching into battle, instead of, say, to a tea party. Surprisingly, it has persisted well beyond its battlefield days, often gracing parades and sporting events, proving that nothing says 'let's celebrate' quite like the sound of brass instruments attempting to keep time with the enthusiasm of a marching band.
