Examples of the varied use of the march can be found in Beethoven's ''Eroica'' Symphony, in the Marches Militaires of Franz Schubert, in the Marche funèbre in Chopin's Sonata in B flat minor, the "'' Jäger March''" in the by Jean Sibelius, and in the Dead March in Handel's ''Saul''.

Anthem
An anthem is a musical composition of celebration, usually used as a symbol for a distinct group, particularly the national anthems of countries. Originally, and in music theory and religious contexts, it also refers more particularly to short sacred choral work (still frequently seen in Sacred Harp and other types of shape note singing) and still more particularly to a specific form of liturgical music. In this sense, its use began ca. 1550 in English-speaking churches; it uses English language words, in contrast to the originally Roman Catholic ' motet' which sets a Latin text. Etymology ''Anthem'' is derived from the Greek (''antíphōna'') via Old English . Both words originally referred to antiphons, a call-and-response style of singing. The adjectival form is "anthemic". History Anthems were originally a form of liturgical music. In the Church of England, the rubric appoints them to follow the third collect at morning and evening prayer. Several anthems are ...

The oldest musical documents preserved in the Land of Valencia are Christian ones, such as the filled epistles and the Song of the Sibyl, a liturgical drama of Catalan origin. Another medieval liturgical drama, the Mystery of Elx, stands out. The Land of Valencia is known for its own variety of Jota and a rich ''dolçaina'' (shawm) tradition. Brass bands are found in almost every village in the region, originating in the 19th century. The Muixeranga, a street festival, is an importan ...
