Mecidiye Marşı

The Mecidiye Marşı was the national anthem of the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Abdülmecid I (2 July 1839 – 25 June 1861) & Abdülmecid II (19 November 1922 - 3 March 1924).[citation needed] There were different anthems for each sultan.[1] Franz Liszt visited the imperial capital and composed a paraphrase to this march named Op. 87 Grande Paraphrase de la Marche de J. Donizetti.[2][3] Donizetti had another march, Büyük Askerî Marş, also known as Grande March de Medjidie, composed for Abdülmecid I during the same period.[4] Donizetti mentions Liszt as enjoying the two imperial marches and obtaining the sheet music from him to play them as variations.[2]
