Janissary music was the inspiration to Mozart making turkish style. It's especially when oriental flavor did being popular in 18th-century European society. Ottoman military bands are thought to be the oldest kind of military marching band. The music was for military on wars, special days and the presence of khans (supreme rulers of turkish tribes; “Tuğ” Türk XI. century). In Ottoman, the band was generally known as mehterân (مهتران), though those bands used in the retinue of a vizier or prince were generally known as mehterhane (مهترخانه, meaning roughly, "a gathering of mehters"). In modern Turkish, the band is often termed mehter takımı "mehter team". In the West, the band's music is also often called Janissary music because the janissaries formed the core of the bands.

Turquerie

十六世紀到十八世紀時在歐洲,“Turquerie“是“土耳其式“的通稱。因為鄂圖曼土耳其帝國的影響,歐洲人對於土耳其文化的好奇與喜愛,摹仿其樣式,表現在各種藝術,音樂、圖畫、雕刻或建築上面;更因為歐洲各國與鄂圖曼帝國在政治與經濟上的交流越來越頻繁,“Turquerie土耳其式“這樣具有異國情調的流行現象在當時歐洲變得越來越受歡迎。 Turquerie was the Orientalist fashion in Western Europe from the 16th to 18th centuries for imitating aspects of Turkish art and culture. Many different Western European countries were fascinated by the exotic and relatively unknown culture of Turkey, which was part of the Ottoman Empire, and at the beginning of the period the only power to pose a serious military threat to Europe. The West had a growing interest in Turkish-made products and art, including music, visual arts, architecture, and sculptures. This fashionable phenomenon became more popular through trading routes and increased diplomatic relationships between the Ottomans and the European nations.

直到最近,終於看了久仰大名的電影-阿瑪迪斯Amadeus,其中一個段落,莫札特著手負責一場奧地利皇室主導的歌劇(這又另有歷史故事),舞台表演熱鬧生動,服裝色彩鮮麗,音樂節奏強烈激昂;是歌劇Opera 後宮誘逃的一個段落 Die Entführung aus dem Serail。若試做一個歷史上的推敲,莫札特就是當代時髦的藝術家,製作這部歌劇,揉和了新鮮充滿異國情調的土耳其式風格,當作音樂裡面又創新又特別的元素,表演內容濃濃的 Turquerie(土耳其式)。符合當時流行風氣,沒有意外的,最後這齣歌劇-後宮誘逃-獲得大大的成功,並且非常受到歡迎;而在那個時候剛開始歌劇創作的莫札特Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,也因此被認為是具備超水準能力的一位音樂家。

Turkish music土耳其式的音樂
土耳其式的音樂不是真的土耳其音樂,而是指在古典音樂裡土耳其式的一種;土耳其式的音樂好多是摹仿鄂圖曼土耳其行軍樂隊的曲調,尤其是從禁衛軍隊(the Janissary bands)的音樂而來。
