The Alter Jagermarsch

I didn�t have a chance to dance the Napoleon march this year. So I am going to dance it now. By I have to march to my own drum. So I am going make up something new. First is this historic recording of Levitan announcing on May 2, 1945 the fall of Berlin. I had goose bumps listening to this mp3 (in Russian).

The Alter Jagermarsch attributed to the Prussian Jagers. It was so beloved by Tsar Alexander the First (the Tsar who interrogated Alter Rebbe) that he introduced it to the Russian army in 1813 and it stayed with the Soviet Army. The Russian version of the march is lighter and faster than the German version. The Russian march is more Jewish in it�s melody or perhaps this is the origin of the Jewish music. Let's march ahead! Lechaim!
