Possible definitions for marcher
march
Musical form with an even meter with strongly accented beats to facilitate military marching. Development of the European march may have been stimulated by the Ottoman invasions of the 14th-16th cent. Marches were not notated until the late 16th cent.; until then, time was generally kept by percussion alone, often with improvised fife embellishment. With the extensive development of brass instruments especially in the 19th cent., marches became widely popular and were often elaborately orchestrated. Such composers as W. A. Mozart, L. van Beethoven, J. Strauss, and G. Mahler wrote marches, often incorporating them into their operas, sonatas, or symphonies. The later popularity of J. P. Sousa's band marches was unmatched.
