"Voelkerbund Marsch" & "Vredesbondsmars"
By Dave Vincent

I once had an LP of a Dutch street organ (as I recall, "The Arab")
performing a march which I recall was "Vredesbondsmars."  I have also
heard the march performed by the organ "The Golden Angel" in Holland,
Michigan.  I recall that the German title (from examining the book in
Holland, Michigan) is "Volkerbund-Marsch," or something like that.

Are any of the MMD readers familiar with this piece?  Do I have the
correct title?  Do you know the composer?  Does anybody know when it
was written?  I want to arrange it for band organ, but I'd like the
book to be labeled correctly.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Dave Vincent

 [ The Keller & Kern Archive catalog (MMD 991015) lists "Voelkerbund
 [ - Marsch", composed by Carl Frei and arranged for 90- to 125-key
 [ Carl Frei scale.  "Die Voelkerbund" is the German name for the
 [ League of Nations, so the song was probably composed shortly after
 [ WW1.  -- Robbie
