The Bauhaus orchestra was founded by Andreas (Andor) Weininger during the Bauhaus’s Weimar period. 

The strongly Expressionistic phase of the State Bauhaus also emerged in the style of the orchestra’s music,

 intended as a "spontaneous product." Inspired by the folk melodies of eastern European peoples, the Bauhaus 

orchestra played the "Russian" and the "Hungarian", the "Unika" and the "Matuto" (the names of which suggest 

a derivation from the Mediterranean region), or the "Bo-la-bo" (influenced by Dadaism). The best-known 

Bauhaus melodies were the "Bauhaus Whistle", the start of which "... could be sung to the words 'Itten-Muche-Mazdaznan'".
After the move to Dessau, the band finally turned more and more towards American jazz. Starting in 1928–29,
