thereis nothing gay or notin showing of. he had to do it. for survival. i have seen apparently effeminate males being fiercest fighters. equally for women. not so tender a gender.
all in all, it's about the beauty and balance (helas,another martial quality) of his display. the music is absolute bliss, cover version by Haendel, over the Channel, perhaps. Merci, Ms JB Lulluy
Thank you! But I was hoping to see the bit of rehearsal too. I can't remember exactly which part it was from, but the music from from Lully's opera, Armide, which is my all time favorite!
Thanks so much for posting these scenes from the film. They will forever change our attitudes about the performance practices associated with this music and the dance.
As long the king is dancing he cannot lead the troops against his neighbours. Unfortnately Louis the 14th stopped with his hobby and started to do things for which he was much less prodigeed.
history repeats itself the French full of pomp and circumstance strut around Europe and the world the French Bourbons hand alcansado africa and america had glorious France over their enemies but just comiensa war are released Ensim all of the powerful and glorious France Austrians especially the English are noble warrior as the Germans but the British did not do more than hide in his island with his pathetic army
UNE MUSIQUE FANTASTIQUE !! Le XVIIe siècle, le grand siècle, tout comme le siècle de Napoléon, époque où la France était glorieuse, grande, rayonnante dans le monde !
Magnificent music and film! Incredible that 27 gave thumbs down, but who knows what planet they are from. I would say, Texas style, "Y'all plumb crazy!". By the way, the US is not the only harbor of ignoramuses. They are, unfortunately, everywhere, in tutto il mondo. Louis XIV was such a great patron of the arts (unfortunately, also that of war). Lully, a genius.
It's not "gay". Nowadays' generations, fed on cheap TV "shows", easy American movies, standing for 30 hours in a queue to get the newest iPod -what do you know on the impact such spectacles had on those who had the luck to be "chosen" to be present at them?
The mighty Sun king that dances - not for the sake of his own joy - but to impersonate the greatness and power of the Monarchy, ready to punish as to give grace.
@2serveand2protect What you always knew was wrong. He was born Lulli and asked to become Lully, which was granted to him in 1661, aged 29, when he became french. By the way, I find this film is terrible.
C. Carretier calculated his ancestry to be approximately 28% French, 26% Spanish, 11% Austro-German and 10% Portuguese, the rest being Italian, Slavic, English, Savoyard and Lorrainer.

@YehUdoMe The male dancers in these scenes, dressed as they are, are completely masculine. The dances are displays - in the context of their time - of the power of the king and of the state. That you wouldn't see this is of course not surprising, given that you use the word "gay" as a pejorative.

@HitlodeuPT lol not really!! The sun king isnt the sun king because he danced but because he have do a lot of modern thing and france kingdom was in the top. Is like u say that moliere ll be not the same whiout lully music then today moliere continues to sell a lot of books.
@HitlodeuPT lully have created " Grand dieu sauve le roy", who is today the national english anthem. I dont thing grandeur of sun king come to music or dance, but come to how he have change a lot of thing in the france kingdom "very modern". Artists come where have modernity, and the king have created this area. Moliere continues to sell books today, and lully homosexuality was tolered.
A wonderful interpretation of the idea of absolutism. It appears that the king takes the persuasive powers of the arts to strengthen his own power. Beautiful!
I am in love with the dansing in this film! Even though he was an arrogant asshole (look what he did to Fouquet), I have so much more respect for Louis XIV knowing that he actually did baroque danse. Love it!
@gipcambero No he was not. Fouquet was actually in the same prison (Pignerol) at the same time period with the iron mask which made him an unlikely candidate to be the true iron mask.

sometimes, i realise that people are completely narrow-minded when they speak of Lully. Yes, Lully is an italian composer and spent all his career in France. That's a fact. Another fact is that stylistically, Lully was a master of french baroque style, completely in opposition with italian opera. that's all.
@contretenor33 You must consider Jean Baptiste Lulli as a very precious gift from Italians to the French, and would humbly remind you that no French born composer work comes any close to our Jean Baptiste Lulli, my friend it is the blood which is running through his vein, it is Italian.
@LordMSh That's quite a bit of snobbish grandeur about a nation that can't elect their politicians like mature people, can't treat their women like mature people and is generally infested with illegal organisations from medieval times. I think Lully rather *stands out* here, if you catch my drift.
@LordMSh Um. Not to be rude, but the French somewhat did "give" at least a fraction of what the Italians gave. It depends on which domains you're talking about, but still, such a statement is totally unreasonable. Musically speaking there are actually far more germanic composers than italian or French, I believe.. But anyway, it would be nice not to mindlessly crush one culture in order to give light to the one you're trying to defend. It sort of kills your intitial purpose. Thanks. ;)
Oh for heavens sake stop fight over his nationality. He was born in Italy and was all dedicated to his career and the king = France his whole life. And he wanted to create a French opera opposed to the Italian opera. Period.
in my opiniom, they were quite sick people.what can you expect of people who hate hygiene and a simple bath?who uses perfumes instead of cleanliness?SICKNESS
lully was italian i agree he made "l'ouverture a la française" he came to france and created this new style of music in time of "louis 14" so its the italian style introduce in the french country .
The geographical text of Muhammad al-Idrisi, compiled for the Norman King of Sicily Roger II in 1154 mentions itriyya(spaghetti) manufactured and exported from Norman Sicily: West of Termini there is a delightful settlement called Trabia.[11] Its ever-flowing streams propel a number of mills. Here there are huge buildings in the countryside where they make vast quantities of itriyya which is exported everywhere: to Calabria, to Muslim and Christian countries.
Con estas escenas se pueden constatar las palabras de Voltaire en "El Siglo de Luis XIV", cuando afirma que hay cuatro grandes etapas en la historia intelectual de la humanidad: La antiguedad griega, la antiguedad latina, el Renacimiento y El Siglo de Luis XIV.
Just in the same way the great English composer Handel was indeed German! I think that is more in the general knowledge than that Lully was indeed Italian yes!
Great French baroque music by Lully....but...well, did you know that Lully was Italian ? His true name was Gian Battista Lulli, born in Florence in 1632 !
Interesting to know that the father of French "Musique de Court" was an eclectic and genial Italian musician.
I think not many French people know this.
Hélas, les Français, j'espère ne vous avoir pas trop troublés avec cette nouvelle....
Mais. Saviez vous quil renonca a sa nationalite pour devenir Français..
Finalement, cette question de la nationalite est, en fait, tout a fait derisoire et sans utilite.
Lulli était un merveilleux musicien et quil soit italien ou francais ne change rien a son immense talent. by the other hand, yes, a lot of people knows that!
But we consider all those Italians who came to France at the time, (when Italy as a country didn't exist btw) as French. And they often did so themselves. They learnt their craft or found their inspiration here too. We're used to Italian immigration in Frnace i'd say a lot of us have Italian origins... that doesn't make us less French. Are the Itlian of Norman descent not Italian but French to you?...
Oh btw, you musn't have understood the scene either because the guy insulting him and spitting at Lully's face says "Peste de Florentin! etc" and mentions his Italian origins...
Just to put an end to this "querelle" generated just by a historic consideration (not very much appreciated by French friends, evidently): then let's take the example of Couperin, who celebrated the Apothéose de Corelli et de Lully, and created "Les Gouts Réunis". In the same way as Romans integrated les Gaules in their civilization, and Sarkozy married Carla Bruni, let's enjoy good music both from the Corelli style and from the Lully style, independently from their passport.
Every french who likes this music know that Lulli comes from Florence and also his italian name was first Lulli and when he took the french nationality, he changed the "i" by a "y" because it looks french. But is it really a matter of nationality when the music is beautiful and when a country, more than another, gave the possibility to a talent to become a genius ?
@lejul75 Handel was once told that he wasn't "English", and he asserted that he was more English than his detractor, whereas he CHOSE to be English, and Parliament deemed it to be so. Nationality is as much a matter of the heart as it is an accident of birth.
Many dances in the court performance were made by Pierre Beauchamp, great dancer and private teacher of the sun king. He establish the 5 positions in the classical dance and create a notation writing system for the steps.
There are many books and people working in this area. But this film's dances do not represent mainstream Baroque reconstruction. The stamping is counter to instructions to land softly, and I think leg gestures were lower and less 'attacked' than 'articulated.' The choreographer has done reconstructed works, but now approaches modern from a Baroque perspective, a very different aesthetic. I find it jarring since I think I know what it should look like, but maybe that's what the directors wanted.
Un film magnifique qui met en lumière l'un des talents souvent méconnu du plus grand de nos rois. Car s'il était un grand architecte, un brillant stratège et un mécène des plus inspirés, notre Roi dansait aussi à la perfection.
Hélàs, que nos dirigeants sont fades à présent, toutes obédiances confondues...
The stumble at the end caught me by surprise! It was a great place to end the video because it is unexpected. These are stunning scenes, and they are so enchanting.
The shot when Louis first emerges onto the stage with the fire all around him is one of the most amazing I've seen in ages. I have to see this film. The combination of brilliant music and such an amazing realisation of 17th century France is not to be missed! Thanks so much for posting this clip.
indeed, indeed. although musically, an art form, that is baroque composition and the tasteless degeneratic beats with some quasi-poetric attempts, are as different as night and day.
@classicalsteve in my opiniom, they were quite sick people.what can you expect of people who hate hygiene and a simple bath?who uses perfumes instead of cleanliness?SICKNESS
It is too bad that Louis XIV of France and Elizabeth I were not alive at the same time . . . what a pair they would have made . . . or not. . . . can not think of two rulers with more ability to use symbolism!
I simply adore the second dance scene: Louis's steps are so regal, so powerful, yet beyond this imperial grandeur there is still something so passionate, so artistic in them. The music is just flawless. I was particularly impressed when Lully vehemently drew out his viol and joined the orchestra, as is it was the only way he could express his devotion to his king. This scene is perfect!

@LordMSh That's quite a bit of snobbish grandeur about a nation that can't elect their politicians like mature people, can't treat their women like mature people and is generally infested with illegal organisations from medieval times. I think Lully rather *stands out* here, if you catch my drift.

@LordMSh Um. Not to be rude, but the French somewhat did "give" at least a fraction of what the Italians gave. It depends on which domains you're talking about, but still, such a statement is totally unreasonable. Musically speaking there are actually far more germanic composers than italian or French, I believe.. But anyway, it would be nice not to mindlessly crush one culture in order to give light to the one you're trying to defend. It sort of kills your intitial purpose. Thanks. ;)

His blood was not of importance in light of his destiny.
His mind was at home in the only place, in these times, which could give him a gracious name among the greatest of all : the Kingdom of France.

Oh for heavens sake stop fight over his nationality. He was born in Italy and was all dedicated to his career and the king = France his whole life. And he wanted to create a French opera opposed to the Italian opera. Period.

The geographical text of Muhammad al-Idrisi, compiled for the Norman King of Sicily Roger II in 1154 mentions itriyya(spaghetti) manufactured and exported from Norman Sicily: West of Termini there is a delightful settlement called Trabia.[11] Its ever-flowing streams propel a number of mills. Here there are huge buildings in the countryside where they make vast quantities of itriyya which is exported everywhere: to Calabria, to Muslim and Christian countries.

Just in the same way the great English composer Handel was indeed German! I think that is more in the general knowledge than that Lully was indeed Italian yes!

Great French baroque music by Lully....but...well, did you know that Lully was Italian ? His true name was Gian Battista Lulli, born in Florence in 1632 !
Interesting to know that the father of French "Musique de Court" was an eclectic and genial Italian musician.
I think not many French people know this.
Hélas, les Français, j'espère ne vous avoir pas trop troublés avec cette nouvelle....

Cher ami du baroque..
Lulii est ne en Italie.. Tout a fait exact
Mais. Saviez vous quil renonca a sa nationalite pour devenir Français..
Finalement, cette question de la nationalite est, en fait, tout a fait derisoire et sans utilite.
Lulli était un merveilleux musicien et quil soit italien ou francais ne change rien a son immense talent. by the other hand, yes, a lot of people knows that!
kind regards

We all know it actually thanks lol
But we consider all those Italians who came to France at the time, (when Italy as a country didn't exist btw) as French. And they often did so themselves. They learnt their craft or found their inspiration here too. We're used to Italian immigration in Frnace i'd say a lot of us have Italian origins... that doesn't make us less French. Are the Itlian of Norman descent not Italian but French to you?...

Oh btw, you musn't have understood the scene either because the guy insulting him and spitting at Lully's face says "Peste de Florentin! etc" and mentions his Italian origins...
Galeande 2 years ago 3
Just to put an end to this "querelle" generated just by a historic consideration (not very much appreciated by French friends, evidently): then let's take the example of Couperin, who celebrated the Apothéose de Corelli et de Lully, and created "Les Gouts Réunis". In the same way as Romans integrated les Gaules in their civilization, and Sarkozy married Carla Bruni, let's enjoy good music both from the Corelli style and from the Lully style, independently from their passport.
Buon Natale.

@francosperoni
Every french who likes this music know that Lulli comes from Florence and also his italian name was first Lulli and when he took the french nationality, he changed the "i" by a "y" because it looks french. But is it really a matter of nationality when the music is beautiful and when a country, more than another, gave the possibility to a talent to become a genius ?

@lejul75 Handel was once told that he wasn't "English", and he asserted that he was more English than his detractor, whereas he CHOSE to be English, and Parliament deemed it to be so. Nationality is as much a matter of the heart as it is an accident of birth.

Did Lully also create the dances that accompany his music? If so, have we a record of them, or are they (in the film) conjecture versus recreation?
lichtbroeder 2 years ago
Many dances in the court performance were made by Pierre Beauchamp, great dancer and private teacher of the sun king. He establish the 5 positions in the classical dance and create a notation writing system for the steps.
StCorentin 2 years ago 4
There are many books and people working in this area. But this film's dances do not represent mainstream Baroque reconstruction. The stamping is counter to instructions to land softly, and I think leg gestures were lower and less 'attacked' than 'articulated.' The choreographer has done reconstructed works, but now approaches modern from a Baroque perspective, a very different aesthetic. I find it jarring since I think I know what it should look like, but maybe that's what the directors wanted.

Un film magnifique qui met en lumière l'un des talents souvent méconnu du plus grand de nos rois. Car s'il était un grand architecte, un brillant stratège et un mécène des plus inspirés, notre Roi dansait aussi à la perfection.

I simply adore the second dance scene: Louis's steps are so regal, so powerful, yet beyond this imperial grandeur there is still something so passionate, so artistic in them. The music is just flawless. I was particularly impressed when Lully vehemently drew out his viol and joined the orchestra, as is it was the only way he could express his devotion to his king. This scene is perfect!
