- While Pieter Leemans was serving in the Belgian army during World War I, on a request from his commander he began to write a march, which he did not finish. During World War II, when the Belgian parachute brigade was formed, he was having dinner with a group of paratroopers and was again asked to compose a march. "During one single night" Leemans composed this march on themes recalled from his earlier effort.
The trio of the march originated from a march written for a N.I.R. radio contest. After only winning the consolation prize, the march was abandoned and is known with the competition designation V. A quiet, unaggressive essay in the easy-paced European style, it is set in the form of a "patrol"; the music marches on from the distance, plays, and passes. The march was arranged for American band instrumentation by Charles Wiley of Lamar University in Texas. - Hudba
So proud of our Belgian warriors !!
JUST BRINGS BACK MEMORIES 1969-1971
Blood Upon The Risers is a classic Paratrooper song. I first heard it on the third week at Airborne School and everyday as we made our 5 qualifying parachute jumps.
Fearless and fearsome. The terror from the sky.
Great march. Five stars. Superb performance too.
Agreed
I could do better
Got to play this for a music festival several years ago, it was incredible and so much fun! I feel so much nostalgia listening to it.
I had it on an album of great military matches when I was 16. This is the first time I have heard it in 50 years and I still recognize it and know it.
Isn't music amazing?
My first girlfriend introduced this March to me in cadets, loved it ever since
This is a truly magnificent performance of one of the best marches.
ironically I used to live in Norway, play in a marching band, and this was one of the songs we played.
Paratroopers regiment.
GREAT
Miss my unit still
Airborne commandos units.
well a belgian march played by norwegian band huh..... NICE!
@GamersOnVideos It also ha[pens to be the regimental march of the British Special Air Services Regiment :-)
@@nicford The British got the honor of also using this march for there SAS regiment, wich was formed at the same time our SAS regiment was formed, don't forget, the UK was never ocupied becausse of being an island...Belgium was occupied, and our warriors where the first on German soil to carry out sabotage and intell missions also in Africa Ruanda, Congo, Burundi... same time when our brittish brothers did missions in North Africa
Airforce bands.
One of the best marchs, but the Spanish claim is based on an 18th-century Spanish March. I cannot remember which one, but when I found it on you tube it was similar.

Belle en het beest

Pretty sure this is the march of the SAS as well.
It is.
Belgians we'er one of the first to form a SAS regiment during WW II, a long side with the British and Aussie's, and the first to infiltrate Germany ( Siegfried line ) during WW II
When you find out that your African neighbor has rubber trees growing on his property:
Just for this song it needs to go a lot more faster. This is way to slow then it's actually suppose to be
Missy Lutes you might want to learn some grammar....
Jesus
Are you American? Only Americans seem to think marches need be obscenely fast. This is the correct tempo.
What about German marches?
DUUUUUUUDE. If this song were played any faster, it would suck balls. Have you even ever HEARD this song before this?!?!? Travis Grubissi is right: it is the correct tempo and Americans DO seem to think that.
Played at 1.5 and you have the last few minutes of an exam
Yeah, yeah, uncreative, I know.
this actually sounds sick. Thanks.
I'm sorry, but, in my opinion, this magnificent march, finely played, is an adaptation of an old march of Spanish fifes, called the "Marcha tradicional de Ingenieros", that is often interpreted in the changes of guard of the "Guardia Real" and the "Regimiento Inmemorial del Rey nº 1", in Madrid.
Might be since Belgium was occupied by Spain once. So it might be a reference of some sort.
Since a copyright is not valid anymore 200 years after the original release it is allowed to modify and improve the original track :).
Belgium is a big mix between a lot of different european cultures. About military marchs you can find french, british, austrian and spanish influences ;)
Some spanish marchs was influenced by french marchs, for example the march of "San Marcial" comes from a french march (I forgot its name). I think all big powerful european countries influenced each other about military marchs
Easy to see why the SAS adopted it, try the original version; it is a bit more punchy.
The quick march of a Corps that never march !
The slow march is ' Lile Marlene'.
lachen zene -->tis een walske ;-)
't is wel een walske waar ik heb op moeten marcheren
Fort those 9 who have NO, Zero, zip nein nyet no taste for music, I hope you find it
I honestly think this is too fast-a-tempo for this. But considering the SAS version is a lot more punchy and intense I guess this will do. Well done however on a job well done Norway!
Made in Norway at Oslo
+Alfred Jimmy Ucha wtf?
Jus
Belgium nahduejg
Sounds like they are confusing themselves with Spanish on one hand and with Russians on the other : )
That's a great summary of Belgian identity. Plenty of confusion, for all parties involved.
