Turkish March (Marcia All Turca) a movement from Beethoven's The Ruins of Athens (Die Ruinen von Athen), Opus 11. Composed in 1811 as background music to accompany a play, the Turkish march is filled with pomp and fanfare as if the military were on parade. The mood is light and jovial. The Turkish element of this piece is the use of cymbals and other percussion instruments associated with the Turkish military bands (Janissary bands) which toured Europe at the time and were very popular with the various courts.
