Marche pour la cèrèmonie des Turcs de Tous Les Matins Du Monde / Tyrkisk marsj (fra "Alle årets dager") Jean-Baptiste Lully / Arr. Haakon Esplo

Young Brass Band
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) moved from Italy to Paris and started as a kitchen boy. Alongside he also composed music and was a dancer and actor. He soon became leader of the court orchestra, and wrote music for the parties at the court. At a concert in 1687 he hit his foot with his conductor pole, got gangrene in the wound and died three months later.
Lully is the first known composer of French baroque operas and had great influence on the development of the European music towards the end of the 1600s.

Turkish march is used in the 1991 movie "All the mornings of the world" (Tous les matins du monde) starring Gérard Depardieu. The action takes place in France in seventeenth century where we follow the relationship between the viol player Marin Marais and his mentor Sainte Colombe.
