The Consular March

The band of the Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard.

The March of the Consular Guard at Marengo (French: Marche de la Garde consulaire à Marengo), or more commonly known as The Consular March (French: Marche consulaire), is a march composed by Guillardel, head of the band of the Foot Grenadiers of the Consular Guard, during the period of the French Consulate in the French First Republic. This march was named after the 14 June 1800 Battle of Marengo during the War of the Second Coalition, and was probably composed and first performed at that battle, under the title Pas de charge de la Garde consulaire à Marengo.
