About this work
Music has always been a crucial element of public celebrations, such as military parades, coronations, royal weddings, and funerals, adding grandeur to the solemnity of the occasion. Musical ensembles entrusted with performing music at these events have existed in Europe since the Middle Ages. This display highlights various marching bands and their musical instruments dating from the 16th to the 19th century.
