 About&the&Composer&
!
Carl Emil Paul Lincke (7 November 1866 – 3 September 1946)
Paul Lincke is often referred to as the “father of German musical
comedy.” He was a son of the Town Hall custodian, an occasional
musician. Paul was the first violinist in the Rudolph Kleinow town
orchestra in Wittenberg and later became a bassoonist. He also taught
himself to play the piano. In 1883, he became conductor at the Apollo
Theatre, the largest music hall in Germany. He went to Paris as music director for the
famous Follies Bergere in 1897, but returned to Berlin and the Apollo Theatre two years
later.

Most of his marches were composed for scenes in his musical comedies, although a few
were written strictly as marches. His publishing business Apollo Verlag, was one of the
largest in Germany. Other music by Linke includes “Glow-Worm.” He also composed
the wedding dance played in the 1997 movie Titanic which is played while the ship is
going down and in the dining room in earlier scenes. –Principle Source: Wikipedia

About the Arranger

Martin Charles Tousignant (1965- ) moved to L’Anse, Michigan USA
as a young boy and began piano lessons at age 6. He began playing tuba
and euphonium at age 12 and developed quickly enough to join the
Michigan All-State Honors Band on tuba by age 16. He married Jana
Ennis of Northport, Michigan in 1987, then began music studies at
Central Michigan University (1988-1990). Jana’s teaching job in South
Dakota led him to a magna cum laude music degree from Northern State
University (Aberdeen, South Dakota) in 1992. After two years of
teaching, he joined the US Army as a tuba player in 1994 and remained
there until 2000. In 2001 he moved to Herndon, Virginia and became a
mail carrier while playing tuba in Army National Guard and community bands. In 2009 he
returned to the US Army as a tuba player on a 3-year leave of absence from the US Postal
Service.

About Berliner Luft

The march Berliner Luft, translated as “Berlin Air’ or “Berlin Echoes” comes from the
1922 revision of Lincke's 1899 operetta Frau Luna about a trip to the moon in a hot air
balloon, where an adventurous party of prominent Berliners meet Frau Luna and her
court. The march was originally from Lincke's 1904 2-act burlesque, Berliner Luft from
which music was taken for the 1922 re-write.

Berliner Luft is one of the traditional Encores of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra. The
edition for band was published in 1907 by his own company, Apollo Verlag.
