[@ikamadan]

They start playing the march first with the base line only, then at each repeat another part is added until the main theme joins. So from start to end, it's actually the same march played over and over again. Very smart arrangement.

[@gmrst00]

Nevermind! Really?

[@BruneSixtine]

Same with the Bolero de Ravel

In the interest of historical accuracy, that would have been the most likely arrangement in the seventeenths century.

I first heard this piece years ago in the film ‘Tous les Matins du Monde’, with Gerard Depardieu in the lead role, conducting, staff in hand, as Lully would have done. I was enchanted by the music and the whole performance - it seemed so familiarly baroque yet mysteriously remote, in time as well as place. This performance takes it to new heights. Lully’s artistry brought to life across nearly 450 years with the use of gorgeous period percussion instruments, the music arranged to slowly build up, like an Ottoman army approaching from the distance and camping before the gates. Beautiful arrangement, beautiful performance.

[@Lardenoy]

[@facebriting1103]

Jean Baptiste Lully was a genius

[@richardjchandler]

Jean Baptiste Lully, born Italian but worked in the French Court, wrote this spirited and delightful March for the Turkish Ceremony. Notice the predecessor to the conducting baton, a heavy staff to establish and keep a steady tempo. (And the conducting staff that led to Lully's death.) Also, notice the baroque bassoon and flutes and the large staff with bells. This short, uplifting composition is sure to lift your mood!

That huge instrument is called a Turkish Crescent. I always thought it was an Ottoman invention for the Mehteran bands but reading about it blew my mind as I found out that it has Turkic origins, brought from Central Asia all the way to Anatolia, it was originally used by Turkic Tengrist Shamans for ceremonies around fire.

[@LucienMarine]

March for the Turkish Ceremony (Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs) was written by Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1670. It is taken from the ninth comedy-ballet entitled « Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme » by the playwright Molière. Comedy-ballet is a combination of spoken comedies, singing, and dancing. This form was desired by king Louis XIV in order to sew together theater, music and dance without breaking the thread of the piece. Context: The King received the emissary of the Grand Turk represented by Suleiman Aga in 1669 but the diplomat's clumsiness and casualness turned into a caricature. It was then that the famous « Turkish ridiculous ballet » was born. The comedy-ballet is a veritable reservoir of the processes that Jean-Baptiste Lully will find in lyric tragedy. She is entirely instrumental and is intended to be danced. So it’s ballet music. To heighten the irony of this scene, the composer employs all the instruments at his disposal and uses also employs percussion with oriental sounds. The march is structured around two repeated musical phrases. From the first notes, everything is done to create a solemn character as the key of G minor, the dotted rhythms similar to opera overtures and supposed to represent the march of the Sun King. This colored piece also includes a small tessitura of which the repetitions offer a journey of exploration of the timbre in the composition. *Lucien*

I can see why France was the most powerful military power in the world what a great military march😉😊

[@volkanerkan3910]

@E. D. E. So why then the French people at that time was trying to dress like Turks? You can search it as Turquerie. Especially, it might be a criticizing purpose for French people who were trying to show their high status in the society by dressing likewise Turks 😉

[@volkanerkan3910]

@E. D. E. As far as I understand, the aim can not be for mocking about the Turks but the incentive behavior for Turkish Culture. So, this melody shows that the Turkish Culture and Power has been inspired by the Europeans even after Renaissance. That's why, we can be thankful to Monsieur Lully. France and Ottomans were two allies till the beginning of 1800s to Napoleon Bonaparte who devastated the France most(e.g. in Waterloo which is Pirus of France). So, the melody can not be towards Turks but the French who is Turquerie 👍.

[@volkanerkan3910]

@E. D. E. The schools are not teaching all the details about history. Whenever I deeply learn about it, you can catch the main idea. Especially, you don't want to understand what I exactly mean. My advice is for you to research more about the history 👍 even if the melody's purpose is for mocking aim, it can only be towards the wannabe persons who is in terms of Turquerie in France. 👍Kindly please open your mind and leave your cluelessness.

[@volkanerkan3910]

@E. D. E. Really? Did you research for Turquerie? Did you research for Waterloo(Mont-Saint-Jean War) operation? Did you research for the alliance of 4th Henry and Ottomans? You don't have any clue about history 😂😉 I am as educated person as I am. The cluelessness is the closing of your mind to the thoughts. You need my advices or you need to see a doctor. 😉

[@volkanerkan3910]

@E. D. E. I can understand what you say. You are proposing that a king of ottoman has told that he has better palace than Versailles and this melody was tuned to mock for it? If you are trying to tell something different, than it is due to English is not your native language 😉👍

c'est le Roi qui avait demandé a Molière de lui écrire quelque Turquerie pour se moquer des Turcs, alors qu'il venait de recevoir en grande pompe à Versailles l'ambassadeur de l'empire Turc le Roi portait un manteau d'apparat truffé de nombreuses pierres précieuses pour épater l'ambassadeur, et ce dernier eut l'audace de lui dire que le cheval du grand Vizir portait plus de pierres précieuses que le manteau du Roi. évidemment le Roi n'apprécia guère la remarque, et demanda à Molière et à Lully, qui travaillaient encore ensemble à cette époque ,de composer quelque turquerie . merci donc à cet ambassadeur d'avoir permis à Lully d'écrire ce petit bijou.

[@user-pn4li3bp1x]
