Bugle calls and marches

Below you will find my budding collection of bugle calls and marches. This is an ongoing project. If you have any printed or recorded bugle calls you would like to add to this collection (which will remain available to all buglers free of charge), please send them to me. I would love to post them here.

This is a work in progress (which has already grown much larger than I anticipated). I realize there are many errors and omissions. Feel free to contribute.

While the vast majority of tunes are written in proper staff notation, some tunes are written in what I've termed "bugle clef". I find it easiest to quickly write out a tune using a single staff line as such:

Bugle Clef

Abbreviations: A Army USA, AA Artillery USA, AAL Australian Air League, BI British Infantry and Mounted Infantry, BMC British Mounted Corps, BSA Boy Scouts of America, C Cavalry USA, CH Coach Horn, DBC Deutcher Bracken-Club, E Emergency, EP English Post (postal service), I Infantry USA, N Navy USA, PLI Prussian Light Infantry, R Routine, RAN Royal Australian Navy, RCS Revenue Cutter Service, SH Swiss Hunting Calls, USMC United States Marine Corps.

In order to add more functionality, I am converting this page to be generated from a database, rather than simply listing all the tunes available.

Degüello, El							See "Carga ó Deguello". El Degüello is a bugle call of Moorish origin notable in its use by the Mexican Army during the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. According to James A. Michener's book Texas, the original meaning of the Degüello call was an appeal to an enemy to surrender or else they would die by the sword. General Antonio López de Santa Anna of the Mexican Army used it to signify that no quarter would be given to the enemy. According to various English-Spanish dictionaries, El Degüello means no mercy. The literal translation is slit-throat. Michener's book translates it as The Beheading.		Discuss
