J.C. Bach - Marsch vom 1. Batallion Garde-Regiment in Hannover, W. B88 (c. 1760)

Johann Christian Bach (September 5, 1735 – January 1, 1782) was a German composer of the Classical era, the eighteenth child of Johann Sebastian Bach, and the youngest of his eleven sons. After a spell in Italy, Bach moved to London in 1762, where he became known as "the London Bach". He is also sometimes known as "the English Bach", and during his time spent living in the British capital, he came to be known as John Bach. He is noted for playing a role in influencing the concerto styles of Haydn and Mozart. He contributed significantly to the development of the new sonata principle.

Marsch vom 1. Batallion Garde-Regiment in Hannover, W. B88 (c. 1760)
Score Editor: Richard Maunder (1937–2018)

Members of the Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester Berlin.

J.C. Bach was known for writing marches for the Garde-Regiment in Hannover, and W B88 is part of a group of such works composed during his Italian (Bologna) and early English periods. Given that he was organist at Milan Cathedral from 1760 and active in London from 1762, the most plausible timeframe for W B88 is around 1760–1762, shortly after his return from Italy and before his major London opera successes.
