Composed by M Haydn. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. Classical. 19 pages. RayThompsonMusic #5954953. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.555862).Johann Michael Haydn, the younger brother of Joseph Haydn, was born in 1737 in the Austrian village of Rohrau. Following in his brother's footsteps he trained at the choir school of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna where he was thought to be a brighter student than Joseph. After leaving the choir-school, he was first appointed as Kapellmeister at Nagyvárad in Romania and then, in 1762, at Salzburg where he stayed until his death in 1805, composing church and instrumental music.
The Turkish March is scored for wind instruments and percussion. Mock Turkish music was very popular during the classical period, and was famously exploited by Mozart in his opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Haydn's work is typical of the genre having bright lively melodies given an exotic flavour through the addition of untuned percussion, particularly cymbals. (Originally scored for double wind quintet, two trumpets and percussion)
My arrangement is scored for double wind quintet and bass.(no trumpets or percussion)
All essential trumpet solos are covered by the other winds.
Horn parts are in G as the original.
I have written a bass part to add depth to the piece.
