Product Description
This volume of essays on Jean-Baptiste Lully and his musical legacy honours the distinguished French baroque scholar James R. Anthony. Jean-Baptiste Lully, court composer to Louis XIV, served as the principal architect of what would become known as the French style of music in the baroque era. The style he created strongly influenced the great musical figures in England (Purcell and Handel) and Germany (Bach and Telemann), but Lully's music itself has received little attention. Recently, through the efforts of scholars and musicians concerned with the performance practices of Lully's time, Lully's own music has begun to come alive in performance and recording. These essays, all by important baroque specialists, cover significant aspects of Lully's life and works and the French tradition he influenced. They constitute the first post-war collection of studies centred on Lully and form a fitting tribute to Professor Anthony whose own French baroque music provided a stimulus for the work of an emerging generation of scholars. ...

Excerpt:Jean-Baptiste Lully item Achille et Polyxène ( Achilles and Polyxena ) is a tragédie lyrique containing a prologue and five acts based on Virgil 's Aeneid with a French libretto by Jean Galbert de Campistron . The opera 's overture and first act were composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully , who died from a conducting injury before he could complete the score. The prologue and the remaining acts are the work of his pupil Pascal Collasse who finished the work on on March 22, 1687, eight months after Lully's death. The opera was first performed at the Palais Royale in Paris on November 7, 1687. Analysis of the libretto and music The libretto for this opera differs from those of Lully's earlier works with Philippe Quinault . Typically, Lully would begin his operas with a lively prologue, but this work has a somber prologue in which the Muses lament the king's desire for military expansion. Another difference is the tragic and somber ending of this opera in Act V. Lully usually ended his operas with a rousing ensemble number but this opera closes with the suicide of the heroine. The end of Act IV, the wedding scene, does contain a vibrant ensemble number at its close which would be more in keeping with a typical finale of one of Lully's opera. Roles Cast: Voice type: Premiere, November 7, 1687 (Conductor: - ) Recordings To date, this opera has not yet been recorded, although individual selections have been recorded by various artists.
