Sorry, this is NOT a "French Military March"! This is the SAVOYARD official royal march of the Duke of Savoy. It is most famous for having been played from Superga Hill (over Turin) in the immediate aftermath of the battle of Turin (1706), after the imperial-piedmontese victory (of Eugenio von Savoy, the Prinz Eugen) over the French royal army, to salute the fleeing enemy leaving Piedmont and heading home... From that episode, the Italian expression "glie le abbiamo suonate" (we have played them/trumped them) = we have beaten them. Culturally speaking, the duchy of Savoy was fully bi-lingual with a French-speaking Savoy and Italian-speaking Piedmont and Nice, that's why Lully wrote the hymn in Versailles. After that war (of Spanish Succession), Savoy acquired Sardinia and became known as "Kingdom of Sardinia", which in turn was due to become the Kingdom of Italy.
Such a great Italian expression deserves an English equivalent for overwhelming victory. The closest ones I can think of are, "We rung their bell;" "We cleaned their clock;" "We beat them like a drum."
This is not a "french Military March", nor "the official Royal march of the Duke of Savoy": it's merely the march of the Regiments "Vardie/Piemont/Savòja" of the savoyard army, best known as "La Generala". Now, it's the "unofficial anthem" of the Piedmont Region, in Italy. The sole link with France it's due to the fact that its author, the Florentine musician Giovan Battista Lulli, was in the service of the king of France.
@@SirGeorgeofWorcestershire - Lulli (that was his true name) was in the service of the king of France and lived at court, but he was born and educated in Florence. According to Jerome de la Gorce, Lulli received music lessons (violin and guitar) from a Franciscan friar in Borgo Ognissanti, near the home of his family members, in Florence itself. Of French there was only his professional fortune .
@giorgiodifrancesco4590 He lived most of his life in France serving the French king and cultivating the French style. He himself wanted to be French and separate himself from his Italian origins.
Non. Le cri de guerre du duché de Savoie : Savoie. C tout Avanti savoia c'est prince de Piémont. Je suis descendant , Willem de Faucigny-Grésy, comté de Genève et royaume rodolphien. Jusqu'à 1453 le nom de mon ancêtres " Pierre Clerc de Gresy"! Baron , descendant de Rodolphe de Faucigny-Grésy. Seigneur de cessens le vieux, de Cusy, Mognard Copponex etc.
@@vlcr9259 Vous pouvez dire vive le Roi de France ( et n'oublions pas la Navarre ) tant que Vous voulez. Rien à redire, à chacun son roi ! Le fait, néanmoins, est que cette musique fut composée pour la Maison de Savoye.
not French, my friend, excuse me: the compositor was from Tuscany, musician at the King Sun's court. Lully wrote this march for the duke of Savoy, an indipendent state until 1859, when Kingdom of Sardinia gave its transalpine territories to the French Empire. In exchange, the French Empire agree with the referendum to join to the Kingdom of Sardinia: Tuscany, Parma, Piacenza and other city in central Italy. Anyway, TYVM to king Louis XIV for his kindness :) Hail the king of France!

L’espressione giusta e’ “It tje son “ ossia “Te le suono”. E’ anche l’inno ufficiale della Regione Piemonte.
