French March: La Marche Lorraine – The Lorraine March

“La Marche Lorraine” is a French patriotic song and march, composed by Louis Ganne in 1892 on the occasion of the XVIIIe Fête Fédérale de Gymnastique de France. The lyrics are by Octave Pradels (1842-1930) and Jules Jouy (1855-1897). The melody recalls the traditional song “En passant par la Lorraine”. Originally belonging to the revanchist movement of late 19th century France, the Marche Lorraine has since become a standard of the official French military repertoire.
