[DE]Jacques Offenbach absolvierte das Pariser Konservatorium und wurde professioneller Cellist. Heute ist er jedoch vor allem als Komponist von Unterhaltungsopern bekannt, darunter Ballet Parisien, La Belle Helene und Orpheus in der Unterwelt. Dieser „Galop“ ist ein temperamentvolles und heiteres Werk, das die Ursprünge dessen enthält, was wir heute als Marinenhymne kennen. Diese Vertonung von John Bourgeois wird sicher zu einem Standard werden.
