Marc Roland (* January 4, 1894 in Bremen; † February 25, 1975 in Munich, real name Adolf Beeneken) was a German composer best known for his film scores.
The son of an accountant, he studied composition under Max Meyer-Olbersleben and Simon Breu. From 1919, he worked as a bandmaster at the Theater am Kottbusser Damm in Berlin-Grunewald and as a freelance composer. He wrote pieces for cinemas in the late romantic style, but also original music for silent films. He used both fixed musical forms, but also strove for an illustrative image synchronicity of the music. For example, he wrote a battle scene in Fridericus Rex (1920-22) in sonata form. Likewise, he composed the Parade March of the Long Guys for this film, which was included in the Army March Collection in 1925 and is still part of the repertoire of many brass bands today.
Roland was head of the German Film Music Union and founded an academy for film music in 1928, where cinema bandmasters were to be trained. His film music oeuvre includes about 100 compositions for cinema and television films.
After the National Socialists seized power in 1933, he composed the music for the feature film Der Choral von Leuthen, which received the rating "Volksbildend" and was banned by the Allied military governments in 1945. In 1935, together with Erwin Offeney, he wrote the music for the anti-Semitic film Nur nicht weich werden, Susanne! Since 1934 he was a member of the administrative committee of the Reichsmusikkammer. He wrote film music for militaristic films, such as Fridericus (1936), based on the novel by Walter von Molo, and Karl Bunje's Der Etappen-hase (1937), both banned in 1945. In 1940 he composed incidental music for Heinrich von Kleist's Prinz von Homburg, after which he received no more film commissions. Roland was not a member of the NSDAP; in 1944 he was still drafted as a soldier.
In the post-war period he lived in Munich and later in Tegernsee. He continued to compose film music and wrote, for example, the music for the feature film Ferien vom Ich (1952). He also wrote the play opera Der lange Pfeffer, which was the first piece by a West German composer to be performed in the GDR, where it premiered in Halle (Saale) in 1952. In 1970, he joined the Bad Pyrmont Masonic Lodge Friedrich zu den drei Quellen and wrote ritual music for Freemasons, which, however, was not completed until after his death. His grave is located in the cemetery on Lortzingstraße in Bad Pyrmont.
