Giovanni Battista Lulli, a young Florentine who settled in Paris, intrigued his way into all the major musical appointments at the court of Louis XIV and--as Jean-Baptiste Lully--created the essentials of what we recognize as French music of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. No one dared to rival Lully as a composer of operas or ballet. But in the chapels, the two most gifted French choral composers of the age, Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Michel-Richard de Lalande, brought French sacred music to a new peak of excellence. The leading instrumental composer around Louis XIV's court was Francois Couperin-le-Grand, master of the keyboard miniature. All these traditions were drawn together in the next generation by Jean-Philippe Rameau, theorist, 'philosophe,' and supreme master of the lyric tragedy. Book jacket.
