Mtв Mecidiye Marеџд± ●

: A western-style military march played in a minor key.

During the 19th-century Tanzimat era, the Ottoman Empire pushed heavily toward Westernization. Part of this cultural reform included replacing the traditional Janissary Mehter bands with standard European military bands. Each reigning Sultan typically commissioned their own personal march to serve as the empire's anthem. 🎹 Connections to Franz Liszt MtВ Mecidiye MarЕџД±
