Info about the song: The “Rákóczi March“ (Hungarian: Rákóczi-induló), sometimes known as the “Hungarian March“ was one of the unofficial state anthems of Hungary before Ferenc Kölcsey wrote the Himnusz. It was most likely composed by Nikolaus Scholl in 1820. The melody later used in many famous compositions, most notably: La damnation de Faust (Hector Berlioz) and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 15 (Franz Liszt). Today the tune is heard usually as an instrumental, without the lyrics. The Berlioz version has become a popular folk-music selection in Hungary, especially for weddings. The March is played at state and military celebrations and is the official inspection march of the Hungarian Defence Forces. The tune was used for decades as the morning signal of Kossuth Rádió at the beginning of the daily broadcast. The march gave its name to a 1933 Austrian-Hungarian feature film—Rakoczy-Marsch—starring Gustav Fröhlich (who also directed), Camilla Horn, Leopold Kramer and others.[5] The March is also featured prominently in the French historical drama La Grande Vadrouille. 0:00 Lockemarsch (Lokemarch) 0:09 Rákóczi-Induló
