Preußens Gloria Marsch (Orchestral Version)
Although I had already done a few takes on "Preußens Gloria Marsch" with all percussion instruments, one YouTube user requested I do an orchestral version of the same thing. This is the result of that, and I also experimented with transposing it down to D-flat Major/G-flat Major, instead of E-flat Major/A-flat Major. I've heard versions in both key signature formats, and I'm not sure which I like better.
I also fixed a mistake I had in my percussion instruments; I wrote those in common time (4/4) quarter note equals 200 BPM. Instead, it should be cut time (2/2) with half note equals 100 BPM, since most marches are written in cut time. However, both are technically correct.
To play this version, you need the following instruments:
2 flutes
2 oboes
2 B-flat clarinets
2 bassoons
4 French horns, or Horns in F (1 & 2 top stave, 3 & 4 bottom stave)
2 B-flat trumpets
2 trombones
Tuba
Timpani
Glockenspiel
Snare drum
Bass drum
Cymbals
Harp
2 violins
Viola
Cello (or violincello)
Contrabass (or double bass)
I also did this because my portions of my family history are a mix of German and Swedish. I don't know any Swedish military marches, however.
IMPORTANT! The fact my family history is partially German is the sole reason I've done this; I DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, support the Nazi ideology in any way, shape, or form. Anybody who leaves Nazi-related comments faces immediate blocking, no questions asked!

As a someone of German heritage it hurts to see that you have to put that you don't support the horrid atrocities undertaken by the Nazis, they ruined so much for people who just want to celebrate true German culture and heritage without slipping into the stereotypical Bavarian Oktoberfest stuff. I just want to be able to listen to so much German patriotic music from the time of Prussia through to today but people have had a heart attack and cancel so much of it, even if it was never in relation to the Mustache Man, they hate it just because its German.
One reason I put that was because when I was originally doing music like this, people were making assumptions that I was a Nazi supporter. I don't think it helps the cause that this song...

...was used in the Nazi book burning scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I therefore place part of the blame on Steven Spielberg (if that's even possible).
For the record, here's my arrangement of the same march, as requested by BlueMario1016.
