Fanfares and races playlist

When the song was still the preserve of the few, limited to bourgeois salons and café chantants, hymns, marches and fanfares were the first forms of music for the masses. Loaded with a strong symbolic power, these tunes have identified military bodies, corporations, associations and have been used to celebrate national holidays, celebrations, and even sporting events such as the Giro d'Italia, whose popularity reached its peak in the years between the two wars.
