Sunday Bandstand 26 September 2021
The music for Le Reve Passé was composed by Georges Krier and Charles Helmer, and the words were penned by Armand Foucher. It seems likely that it was originally a song written in 1906 in French, and was arranged as a band march later.
It has a military flavour to it; perhaps looking back to the glory days of Napoleon in the hope that the soldiers of the day would be as valiant as those in Napoleon's time.
Ask someone in the street if they know the march Le Reve Passé, and you will probably get a blank expression. Whistle part of the main melody, and anyone of an age will immediately bounce back with 'yes, I know that!' The march was brought to the public's attention by the famous Irish tenor, the late Josef Locke, who probably sang it in every concert hall in Ireland - there's even a clip of him on YouTube singing it in the 1950's film 'What A Carry On!' - https://youtu.be/ErMcwQ2cBaM
Brass Bands have been playing this march on park engagements for decades - enjoy.
