The Fliegermarsch is a popular German march.

History
The creator of the air march was the Austrian composer Hermann Dostal, who wrote it in 1912 as a balloonist's song for his otherwise forgotten operetta “The Flying Rittmeister” under the title “Candles I climb to heaven”. Dostal dedicated the air march in the first version to the Aviation Corps of the Danube Monarchy. [1] Dostal's operetta with the Fliegermarsch from 1912 belongs to the time of the Viennese operetta in terms of music history. During this time, the Viennese operetta had the reputation of mass entertainment, which was later discussed as the cultural industry.

The Fliegermarsch was originally not set for a wind band, but has increasingly become a classic march in wind music. Today the air march is one of the most played pieces in the Bundeswehr and is also part of the repertoire of military music. [2] In general, the air march is part of the repertoire of wind bands in music associations.


The text of the Fliegermarsch (see below) also belongs to the repertoire of choral music [5] in which the character of the Austrian operetta from 1912 can be heard.

text
Straight like a candle, I rise to heaven, I fly on Sunday directly.
Below me in the crowd, I whistle with respect.
When we float up like that, my friend this is a life!
I feel like a young god, cross heavenly thunder weather sapperlot!
There are no robbers in the air, no district court
and one does not see any old women upstairs either.
There’s no dog food and no mother-in-law up there.
In the air there is no tax, no deposit,
Interest is not that expensive either, up in the balloon.
And comes the tailor with the bill
Please fly away from him in comfort.
Friend, don't be stupid, so don't be stupid:
Come and be my passenger, fly, fly, fly with me!
We want to go for a walk up where the stars are.
Throw away all your goods and money, one kick in this world!
In the air, in the air the pepper flies
up to heaven, heaven, heaven, hipp hurray!
