Bavaria is a major center for German folk music and culture. Most villages have at least one band that provides music for weddings, festivals, and parades. These groups often include brass instruments, clarinets, and accordions. This example of Bavarian music exhibits many features typical of German band music, including flowing brass melodies, staccato accordion rhythms, and bouncing tuba lines.
