March of the Dendarii Cavalry
Feb. 6th, 2015 11:47 amI'm quite sure this is in need of further polishing, but at times you just have to open up things for critique. So here is the "March of the Dendarii Cavalry During the First Cetagendan War".
( March of the Dendarii Cavalry )
Notes for the sung version (things may look odd, but so did the notes I have for the piece).
The original? The tune might in part actually go back to the 30-years-war, but text was written by Zacharias Topelius in 1872. It has far too many names:
There are plenty of Youtubes of it, but there really is just one group that does it real justice, and they'd fit in right on Barrayar. It's the first piece played right after their entrance.

- In Swedish it's Finska rytteriets marsch i trettiåra kriget
- In Finnish it's Suomalaisen ratsuväen marssi 30-vuotisessa sodassa or Hakkapelittain Marssi
- In German it's Schwedischer Reitermarsch
- In English it's March of the Finnish Cavalry or March of the Hakkapeliittas
There are plenty of Youtubes of it, but there really is just one group that does it real justice, and they'd fit in right on Barrayar. It's the first piece played right after their entrance.
