- Piece from the movie: Le Roi Danse (The King is Dancing)
Some Info:
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687)
Italian-born composer (French nationality from 1681). Entered service of Louis XIV 1653, composed instrumental music for the court ballets. From 1664 collaborated with Molière in series of comedy-ballets which were forerunners of French opera, the last and most famous being Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, in which Lully danced role of the Mufti.
Having assimilated both Italian and French styles and tastes, from 1673 he turned to opera composition and obtained from the King exclusive rights to arrange operatic performances in Paris.
His death was caused by a gangrenous abscess which formed in his foot after he struck it with the long staff he used for beating time on the floor while conducting a Te Deum to celebrate Louis XIV's recovery from illness.

I cannot imagine how does it feel being Louis XIV yourself and listening to this masterpiece for the first time.... written inspired by and to yourself....
Yes indeed ! What will dwell in His mind ? Just underling His Majesty's grandeur and superbe performance on European evolvements !
@MorderkaiEdelblattsteinmeyer that’s a misnomer. No one kissed his ass but they did pay for the privilege to watch him pee in the morning
I have never heard anything that beautiful in my life. It's impressive.
You should look into how Louis XIV completely shook French Culture and catapulted it to the zenith of arguably the world, every European power was trying to copy it.
@@johnnotrealname8168
The success of the French court and its culture was largely due to the synthesis of long-standing influences from Florence, Venice, and Milan. Everything from lace, to millinery, pastries to opera; was imported from Italy, rendered French, and then done in a manner of such exuberance, pompe, and expense, that it would, indeed, shake the musical, cultural, and artistic worlds. France in the late 17th to early 19th centuries, was truly an exponent of both the apex of a society, and the later extreme decadence and upheaval of it.
Edit; “Italy” in the geographic sense, as the country did not exist, per se. The Italian city-states, duchies, and kingdoms is what I mean.
@@sergpie Yeah, I have heard that Ballet was also initially Italian and then the French King started dancing. It should be noted that until the Louis XV, there was a huge Italian influence at the court whether Queen or Chief Minister. Before that was the Renaissance and the Italian Wars.
Anyone notice how the rise of Madame De Maintenon is shown? First she's seated to the left and behind the king, with Montespan on his right. Then Montespan is gone and it's just Maintenon and Louis, but the colors are still vivid, yet the courtiers are gone. Finally it's Louis, Madame, and all the courtiers are replaced by priests and what ladies there are, including the performers, are all veiled and in black. A clever way of showing Maintenon's increasing influence at court.
Well, they aren"t priests, they're a new generation of courtiers, devots and bigots :)
Thank you for noticing. Also it's a great contrast with the rest of the film, where Louis is actively engaged with the music and dance, here he just seems bored. Static, even. What once was a vital force for his propaganda now seems like a repetition of the same thing, even though Lully clearly puts his effort into it. There's a stifling at court.
He wasn’t just bored, he became very religious to where he saw plays as a sin and now hated Lully due to the lifestyle he was living out on.
@@achaudhari101 A bit of an exaggeration to claim the King hated Lully. A "bit" exaggeration, as opposed to "significant". The court had definitely lost vitality the more Royal authority was consolidated over the nobles; initiative straitjacketed by rigid custom, like clockwork.
good point I had not noticed that, but Madame is not present at the end; she would have been entitled to an armchair. I love this era and music but this movie required way too much interpreting it. from this i would assume Lulli was madly in love with the king who did not care for his work, when in fact I think it was quite the opposite. also Monsieur and Madame were always seated next to the King. If you look closely, this depicts an opera house, with the king in the orchestra seats and the audience behind him in boxes. They built temporary (can you believe it!) opera houses if they didn't stage these outside.
Заслуга Люлли в том что он стал сочинять оперы на французском языке и королю это очень понравилось .
До этого оперы исполнялись только на итальянском языке , но Люлли сделал оперу французской ,в этом была его великая заслуга для культуры Франции
The middle part is from Armide, which Louis, unfortunately, refused to ever see.
Other parts include ouvertures from Amadis
This movie introduced my Lully obsession. And I do not regret it.

SRlsy I am 100% republican (in the anti-monarchist way) but Lully really had some talent in showcasing the king

The ending is more epic than the most epic music of today.
I do not unstand a single french,but one was quickly hypnotized by the music.
That actress is so divine
Her name is Claire Keim
And her husband is Bixente Lizarazu
This scene represents the end of Lully's career through his very last works, around the truce of Ratisbonne (1684), a golden age for the reign of Louis XIV who momentarily defeated all the adversaries of the kingdom of France, but which is still far from coming to an end: He is only 46 years old and will still have to face many more challenges and wars to come ...
C'est magnifique! Lully, il est un grand homme. J'adore l'histoire de Versailles, les rois des France et la Royaume de France.
Tres bien.

Et oui malheuresement aprés la révolution heuresement certains on essayer de redonner la grandeur a la France comme Napoleon 1er ou De Gaulle mais mtn avec Hollande la France n'est plus que un pays soumis a bruxelles
toutes les renaissances sont possibles. tant que la dernière braise n est pas éteinte.

He appeared old screaming at the end because that's when we hit his stick in the foot while marking the time in the music, and he hit so strongly his foot that it had gangrena and he died. That's the level in which his life was all about the feelings of his music.
A depiction of Lully's life.
① receive the king's favor
② The king marries a concubine.（Madame de Maintenon）
③ Under the influence of Madame de Maintenon, the king turned to Catholicism.
④ Lully, who is gay, is hated by the king.
Did you watch the whole movie? The scene where Louis admonished Lully for his gay behaviour (Lully was also married to a woman and had children with her) is much before Maintenon takes over.
Cette scène combine trois extraits d'opéras différents :
-Isis : «C'est lui dont les dieux ont fait choix» - «Publions en tous lieux» (Prologue, scène 1)
-Armide : «Que l'éclat de son nom» (Prologue)
-Amadis : «Esprits empressés à nous plaire» - «Que le ciel annonce à la terre» (Prologue)
On les joue comme c'est le même spectacle. C'est marrant que les trois airs se combinent si bien. Ce que j'adore chez Molière et chez Lulli, l'emprunt et la répétions néoclassique
Paroles :

C'est pourtant pas un exemple, il à ruiné la France financièrement et humainement, multiples guerres, dépenses faramineuse et le pire révocation de l'édit de Nantes.
Louis 11 ou Henri 4 sont de bien meilleurs rois par exemple.
@@gregutdmglaucos3757 Eh beh, je ne suis pas très fan du second même si il était l'un des plus populaire et à juste titre (juste qu'en tant que catholique, sa vie personnelle n'était tres virtueuse), mais le choix de Louis XI comme un bon Roi est vraiment un point de vue rare à notre époque, souvent considéré comme le pire Roi de France mais c'est un choix respectable puisque sans ce Roi, je crois que la France ne serait pas ce qu'elle est, un Roi de France qui a joué le rôle de pilier important, sûrement même plus important que Louis XIV.
@@praumat744 l'image de certains personnages historiques est très différente de la réalité, c'est relativement récemment que les historiens réévalue leurs bilans politique.
Un bonne exemple serait Néron qui était bien moins mauvais que les chroniqueurs on pu en faire.
Le coup c'est après le renversement d'une dynastie par une autre de présenté sous un jour très mauvais la précédente pour justifier du coup d'état.

Magnificent !!
@Louise de La Vallière:
His name is Boris Terral. I think his acting is very authentic. If he'd stand there with a bored or expressionless face, he couldn't persuade Louis XIV. to respect him again. It's very touching. All his feelings 'bout Louis become free in this moment. All the time he thought, the king and him are friends. In the end Louis didn't show any emotions except contempt. How would you feel? Years gone by and you think, that you know each other. Then you get dissapointed. Lully devoted most of his compositions Louis. "Without him I'm nothing.." It's kinda sad if you realize that it's over. Did you watch the movie at all? I'm sure you would understand his acting, if you did.
Cette musique est carrément époustouflante, je me lasse pas de cette puissance émotionnelle.
Vive le Roi, vive la France!
DomineDeusRex Oui grandeur démesurée de la France ma patrie que j'aime.
Cette musique me semble venir de Armide de J.B. Lully, un chef d'oeuvre.
Vive le Roy, Vive l'Eglise Catholique, qui est actuellement dans le collimateur de certains politiques irresponsables. L'islam et les sectes, c’est si bien si imbécile, si cruel!!!!

Vous êtes si égoiste /égocentrique
@@MrBallasudaEt vous SI DUR. Aimer la France et le Roi est loin d'être égoïste, cela se comprend.
-First Baroque Period-greatest composer Monteverdi
-Second (Middle) Baroque Period-greatest composer Lully
-Third (Late) Baroque Period-greatest composers Handel,Bach,Vivaldi
i beg to differ. replace lully with cavalli.
Cavalli was an early Baroque composer like Monteverdi, not a middle Baroque like Lully. Regarding late Baroque, for me it's a tie between Bach and Handel. Bach clearly has the bigger brains but Handel seems to have greater beauty.
Aldea Alexandru uhh???? Rameau deserves a spot too!
i don't mean to be pedantic but cavalli died in 1676 living long enough to write "ercole amante" for the wedding of louis xiv with lully (who died 1687) writing inter-act ballets making him contemporary with lully. he's more "middle" than "early" baroque.
I would add Cavalli and Purcell as well :-)
What a skin shivering piece ! In all meanings stuck in one's mind.....Just gorgious !
Quasiment 1 million de vue et seulement 460 commentaires. Il n'y a aucune discussion, La musique de Lully met tout le monde d'accord.
Grand film! Je l´ai vu au mois 5 fois!
I could listen to this non-stop....the guy playing Lully is more than welcome to give me a private performance anytime:)
I like him too :) and that hair 😂😃
harpsichord*
I'm afraid that his mother (or Isis...) was the only woman he loved...😉
@@kactus_3008 I read that Lulli was a hedonistic horndog ....he liked it all lol
One of the many great scenes in this movie
A beautiful scene indeed. Actually, this video contains three different tragedies of Lully. The first one is from Isis, the second is from Armide and the last one is from Amadis.
Una composición preciosa y una magnífica interpretación. Grande Lully
Elles sont absolument superbes (They are absolutely superb!): La chanteuse (Claire Keim), sa voix et la musique (The singer, her voice, and the music). Merci!
C'est la voix de Cmaite Keim ou elle a été doublée ?
Claire Keim est actrice, pas chanteuse d'opéra, elle a été doublée
wow the actress is stunninggg
Such a great century in arts it was!
It cannot be put on repeat!
tres belle musique que je ne cesse d'ecouter en boucle, lully a reellement fait un travail superbe
juste divin
@bellgaggs The "guy" is Lully himself, the conductor and composer who sings it to himself, savoring it's beauty and his genius. He's not singing; he's only mouthing it as he conducts.
Toujours un plaisir de ré-écouter avec gourmandise... Merci
C'est magnifique ❤️
Magnificent music.
I love the movie. I love the mucic!!
absolutly Awsome!!
I can't get enough from this video!
its my favourite!!
ça a de la gueule, comme on dit et ce Louis est magnifique
*Vive Dieu et le Roi!!* Vive Louis XIV!! ⚜🇫🇷⚜
Beleborsódzott a hátam... sose hittem volna, hogy szeretem az operát...
Amazing... I never thought I would have to love opera...
wonder how they chose the three pieces of music here... especially the choice of last one from Amadis' prologue is superb, ending with "ce bien-heureux moment"... 😭
Quelle musique merveilleuse, quelle merveilleuse extraite, j'aurais aimé pouvoir voir tout le film!
What wonderful music , what a wonderful extracted , I do wish I could see the whole film !
I really love the sound of the timpani roll at 2:00 towards the end , it sounds like rolling thunderstorm
one of the best movies ever. i love it
Que de malheurs pour la France(et donc pour l'Europe) depuis 1789! C'est le trône et l'autel qu'il faut pour la France. Qu'elle fut forte, grande et raffinée!
la monarchie est morte le jours de l écartèlement de Damien,..il y avait deja trop longtemps que ces "Chretiens" se roulaient dans l abjection
Des guerres atroces et violentes sont passées par la !
J'ADORE CE MOMENT. LA MUSIQUE EST SIMPLEMENT PARFAITE.
magnifique !
1:31 notice how Louis XIV has a cross on his neck. A visual cue about the increasing importance of religion in his worldview. After 1685 France rightly or wrongly would be viewed as a reactionary catholic power as opposed to the more docile Habsburgs hell bent on expansion abroad and repression at home. End result the protestant powers of Europe would mostly ally against France in what were likely the last major wars in which religious reasons were important the Nine years war and the Spanish succession.This scene mirrors that increasing authoritarianism in a clever way. These wars would kill millions including famine deaths.
That's on protestant rogues trying to steal Catholic wealth.
Oh my God! AMAZING
Es la música de Lully es la mas grandiosa, el alma se llena de gloria al escucharla, es magnifica y con una fuerza que enerva los sentidos y te lleva al máximo del disfrute. Sublime!!!.
Musique majestueuse qui va tout droit au cœur !
Che musica! Che spettacolo! Bravissimi!
briliant movie
0:40 love this part 😍😍😍
After this film the only option is to watch the stunning recreations by William Christie of the opera/ballets of Lully and Rameau, a glorious revelation in sound and sight.
So good, I keep rewatching it.
Pures Meisterwerk!
Great compilation, and beautiful performance!!
@mango2005 No, Lully enjoyed the king's favor, but the king was leery of Lully's crazy lifestyle and afraid it would stain him too. He probably was disappointed he couldn't dance any more. His father, Louis XIII (of 3 musketeers fame) was the first royal promoter of dance as a dancer himself.
When I see this movie I cannot say who is greater:
Louis XIV în earthly power
or Lully în arts, în heavenly power.
And I admire both,beeing caught between earth and heaven
Its gets better every time i here it...
what power in this music !
J'adore tout qui touche Louis XIV
Wow...amazing.I love the music from this time,fab!

By the end of the film, Louis XIV has long ended his youthful spirit of his great admiration for Jean-Baptiste Lully and has become a more devoted Catholic instead of the liberal and enlightened ruler he was in his youth. His displeasure by the end of the performance signals the end of their partnership and the parting of ways. Wonderful film, despite its historical accuracy.
Accuracy or inaccuracy ? :D
Bro is like 😐
Meanwhile lully is like 🤨😠😫🤬😱😖🤯😈😵
Gosh, so beautiful...
It's a beautiful movie to watch.
the singer is very beautiful !
It's just an actress. The music was recorded by someone else.
Bellissima musica, immagini eleganti. Bravi
France at its zenith, when see my country today i want to cry......
You must return to your heritage, but long ago before Louis XIV. You must return to the time when Clovis was baptized and you will be regenerated
Je tiens à rendre grace à ton talent qui m'a fait apprecier tes merveilleuses videos qui m'ont apporté un moment de bonheur...Bien amicalement §
i love her voice
The genius of Lully ,an italian raised with old italian opera was to create a synthesis between that old opera and the old principles of theatre,of acting.Singing was adapted to the situations în the play to create a more realistic, not artificial impression.
Don't forget that Lully started his way in the arts with Moliere
Vive le roi et vive la France
beautiful
absolument génial !!!
Great music shines through.
Como se dice en España, "Se me ponen los pelo de punta"...que fuerza, que belleza...jodido lully, es un genio, y la interpretación, es perfecta :D
El idioma francés resuena cuando canta esa chica...
Так говорят не только в Испании, поверьте.
Our GREAT Sun king ! Thanks to him we conquered Corsica one year before the birth of Napoléon , the rest is History ! Vive la France !
I have to make a correction here. The one who aquired Corsica ( and Napoleon în doing so ) was Louis XV, great grandson of Louis XIV.
Louis XV looked like a sunset next to the Sun King.
Great music!
Lovely 17th century mantuas!

So, what gives with Louis by this time? How could he possibly sit there so stone-faced and unmoved by this incredibly wonderful music of Lully? Were I Le Roi, I'd have been standing on my seat cheering and applauding! Had Louis' taste already moved on to so-so's like Charpentier, Rameau, or Couperin?
The king have not to show any sign of hapiness. The same for the first view of the hall of mirors. ;)
***** I know right?! But ya he'd more than likely moved on to Charpentier and the like. I see you have Empress Mathilda as your avi :D (I adore her!)
quelle grandeur et quelle majesté avait la France à cette époque !
C était l. Excellence dans tout. al époque... Certes il y avait de la mi3 mais dans toute l Europe c était comme ça moins en Angleterre et aux pays Bas. Au Danemark on crevait de faim. Aussi. Mais sinon la France a cette époque brillait de mille feux dans tous les domaines. Et rien ne se faisait sans beauté élégance.
magnificant!!!
MAGNIFICO, LLENO DE FUERZA INCONMENSURABLE Y GRANDIOSA........LULLY MARAVILLOSO.
Bravo, comme d'habitude Lully grandiose musique. Ici accompagnée de splendides costumes "à la Louis XIV" remarquer la Fontange, j'aime ça.
Très bonne talentueuse exécution, on en rêve.
Bravo à tous les exécutants.
Vive la France des Roys
es una escena estupenda, me encanto, muy buena la pelicula en general
I find it curious that there are many lovers of Classical music, who are aware primarily, of the "Big 3" (Bach Beethoven & Mozart) only. Then there are those who are also familiar with the popular, but somewhat lesser knows like "Handel, Vivaldi, Brahms, Chopin Tchaikovsky, etc. Even less have heard of Corelli, Albinoni, Purcell, Lully, etc. Then there are the obscure, like Gabrieli, Ockeghem, Monteverdi, etc. My point is, same as now, there were MANY great, but relatively unknown composers.
Gabrieli is one of the most innovative and important composers.
He isn't well known at all.
Figures. Humans are stupid.
Wonderful! That´s all I can say.
Marvelous version and quite becoming to Louis le Grand!
