Joseph Franz Wagner
DOB: 1858 (Vienna, Austria)
DOD: 1908 (Vienna, Austria)
Joseph Franz Wagner was the son of a doctor and an
accomplished singer in his youth. Following studies in
harmony, form, counterpoint, and instrumentation at the
Royal Military Institute in Kaschau, Hungary, Wagner
undertook a tour of duty in the army. By age 22, he
th
was appointed bandmaster of the Royal 47 Infantry
Regiment Band in Vienna, Marburg, and Graz, and in
th
1892, became bandmaster of the 49 Infantry
Regiment.
In addition to conducting military bands, Wagner conducted his own civilian ensembles for the
Viennese public, and, was very popular as a conductor and composer. He was highly productive,
composing at least 250 published works and, it is believed, over 800 compositions. Wagner is
considered the “Austrian March King.”

Under the Double Eagle, Op. 159 (march). Written about 1888 and first published by Musikverlag
Adolf Robitschek (Wiesbaden, West Germany), Wagner took the title for this march from the state
emblem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The double-headed eagle was the symbol of the Byzantine
Empire for over 2,000 years before it appeared on the imperial coat of arms in Austria-Hungary.

It is interesting to note that the march was probably used more for dancing than marching. And, it
has been used by county and western fiddlers in the United States for so long that many believe the
st
composer was from Nashville, Tennessee. The march became the official regimental march of the 1
Austrian Artillery Regiment Number 2.

A summary of his complete works include one rather unsuccessful operetta, numerous overtures, concertos, songs, and other concert works. He is most
remembered for his waltzes and marches
