Clear Victory - “Nun danket alle Gott“ (“Leuthen Chorale“) - Fife, Drum & Hautboys

This is a fife and drum arrangement I made of the German chorale “Nun danket alle Gott“ (“Now Thank We All Our God“). It is attributed to Johann Crüger, a German composer and publisher, who published it in 1647. It was allegedly sung by the Prussian troops after their victory at the Battle of Leuthen in 1757. The arrangement also includes oboes (“hautboys“), a common military instrument at the time. This is the second victory theme of a total of three, each on the same melody, but in ascending pomp. The image is an allegoric scene commemorating the victory of Catherine II of Russia over the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. It was painted by the Italian painter Stefano Torelli in 1772. This music will appear as soundtrack in the upcoming “Seven Years War“ mod for Rome Total War.
