Dutch army music.
Here you will find the official Dutch army music and signals. The first Dutch army music after 1813 was written by J. Rauscher. The document is called "Marchen en signalen voor de tamboers en pijpers van de Armee." It's printed by the "Departement van Oorlog" in 1815 (literature 19 in our lit. list).
The only thing missing in this document are the special signals for Flankeur companies. But these can be found in literature 23: "Algemeene voorschriften omtrent het tirailleren en het defileren der korpsen infanterie, door Z.K.H. de Kommissaris Generaal van Oorlog. Willem Frederik Karel Prins der Nederlanden ca.1831, 9e druk. Van der Monde."
All together we have a full set of signals. Many of this original music is made digital by Mr Erik Edelman (thanks Eric)! Some signals are in 'trumpet', others in 'drums'. Please realize that only the Dutch Jager battalions had Trumpets (horns), all regular infantery and Militia had drums and 'pipers'.
