Muffat,
pupil of Lully and
Corelli, composed his
concerto 'Victoria
Maesta' ('Sad Victory')
in 1689 as organist and
chamber musician in the
court of the archbishop
of Salzburg. The title
refers to the taking of
Belgrad during which the
archbishop's brother was
killed in 1688; therefore
the piece begins with a
solemn funeral march in C
minor, in elaborate and
artistic contrapuntal
technique in the sense of
Corelli's adagio
type.
