Jean Baptiste Lully March for the Turkish Ceremony

oh la la, y'a rien de plus beau, vive Lully, vive la France, vive le Roy Louis

Lulli le rital? :-))

Perfectly spirited tempo...makes this perfectly regal!

Interesting.

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 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, Lully uses all the instruments at his disposal and also uses 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: 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

الطليان دائماً مبدعون علي مر التاريخ 🇱🇾 ❤

Always amazing music.

Me and the boys when we see british people trying to get up a hill

Lully was a gay Italian man, like Michelangelo and Da Vinci. This was a bit of a scandal at the time. He was also looked down upon by some because he was Italian.

The best performance

Buena exposición didáctica del contrapunto de esta enérgica pieza.

I remember studying Jean Baptiste Lully in music history class in college. I remember saying to my professor how much I enjoyed his compositions, and my teacher assured me that many other people like his works too!

Cool.

Mozart will be jealous

Si on peut confirmer que lully l'a composé pour la réception d'un souverain turc par Louis 14 merci

Tüm Türkler adına, ışıklar içinde uyu Jean-Baptiste Lully.

Bravo!!!!!!!!

My mein ost when sonic lose and I win the victory

Certainement la meilleure interprétation . Magnifique aussi dans le tempo . Bravo.

Music so inspiring, you'll stab yourself in the foot with a baton!

Very ineteresting music. Lully was a good composer. From the first notes the tempo and repetitive music tells me it is something like a mehteran march of the Ottomans, mockery or not...
