Isis - C'est lui dont les dieux ont fait choix (Lully)

[ModellMeister]

This music is absolutely majestic. I am a fervent baroque supremacist, and Lully is one of my faves. I must also add this woman singing it is very beautiful <3

[thekkl]

Tough crowd.

[welshpete12]

what power in this music !

[animatorkitty26]

this video gave me 3 extra credit points on my music test! :D

[makkolino82]

POTRESTE DIRMI QUALE è LA VERSIONE ITALIANA?

[makkolino82]

CHE EMOZIONE!!!

[Videomama1972]

I could listen to this non-stop....the guy playing Lully is more than welcome to give me a private performance anytime:)

[luisruedaoropeza]

MAGNIFICO, LLENO DE FUERZA INCONMENSURABLE Y GRANDIOSA........LULLY MARAVILLOSO.

[dottormario200]

mi fa sentire tutto lo splendore di quell'epoca

[dottormario200]

questa musica mi manda in estasi.......

[TheAzero19]

SUPER!!!

[777reign]

Isis is NOT GOD as the work would ascribe. A masterpiece conveying untruth.

[LordTalonProductions]

This is without a doubt the best song in the film!

[spikwizflo]

La foule est en délire! le public se rue sur les artistes! la sécurité ne les contient plus!! Arrêtez de pousser svp!!!

[2BiTeddy]

La renommée: C'est luy dont les Dieux ont fait choix Pour combler le bonheur de l'Empire François, En vain pour le troubler, tout s'unit, tout conspire, C'est en vain que l'Envie a ligué tant de roys. Heureux l'Empire Qui suit ses lois! Choeur: Heureux l'Empire Qui suit ses lois! La Renommée, et sa suite les Rumeurs et les Bruits. Publions en tous lieux Du plus grand des héros la valeur triomphante. Que la Terre et les cieux Retentissent du bruit de sa gloire éclatante.

[Septimanien]

@2BiTeddy

Grand merci monsieur !

[2BiTeddy]

Que l'éclat de son nom s'étende au bout du monde,
Réunissons nos voix.
Que chacun nous réponde.

La Gloire, la Sagesse, & les Choeurs:
Chantons la douceur de ses loix,
Chantons ses glorieux Exploits.

[2BiTeddy]

URGANDE ET ALQUIF Esprits, empressés à nous plaire, Vous, qui veillez ici pour notre sûreté, Votre soin n'est plus nécessaire, Vous pouvez désormais partir en liberté. Que le ciel annonce à la Terre La fin de cet enchantement, Brillants éclairs, bruyant tonnerre, Marquez avec éclat ce bienheureux moment. CHŒUR Que le ciel…

[2BiTeddy]

[K11KevinLevin]

@2BiTeddy Thanks a lot. i've been looking all over for this

[ThoHaug1978]

Wenn Kummer und Pein plagen soll sich einfach dies anschauen, die Augen schließen und alle Last des Lebens fällt von ihm ab. So wie im Herbst die Bäume ihre welken Blätter zu Boden werfen.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Che musica!  Che spettacolo! Bravissimi!

[ALHvideos]

absolument magnifique

[MozartIsFancylalala]

wow the actress is stunninggg

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Marvelous version and quite becoming to Louis le Grand!

[Diegooover]

beautiful :3

[notURmonkey]

I cannot believe 13 people disliked this one. They must be all enamored of Lady GAGA !!!...(given their obvious lack of musical taste!).

Personnally, I just enjoyed this track tremendously. Bravissimo, PeterOnFire, I just subscribed to your channel. I am your fan !

[luisruedaoropeza]

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!!!.

[MrStefanovitsch]

Great work by Antiqua Köln, but the movie...let's just say Jean-Baptiste deserved better.

[bellgaggs]

FAKE AND GAY

[Breno936]

@Oneirocreates and so I, Opera is fantastic..

[HBMars]

i d like to know whats she singing about .. can someone translate this please?

[00sevendb]

@HBMars It is a glorification of France and the King --- Here you can find the full text: sitelully.free.fr/livretisis.h­tm --- and than use the Google Translator ;-D

[00sevendb]

@HBMars This short film shows three different arias from three different operas

[2BiTeddy]

@00sevendb And you know which aria is the last?

[notURmonkey]

@2BiTeddy -- I don't. Which one is that ???...

[2BiTeddy]

@notURmonkey I would like to know.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

A praise of the Sun King (le Roy Soleil) showing how it was presented in different periods of Lully's career.

[bichotte69]

So French!!!!

[Oneirocrates]

Beleborsódzott a hátam... sose hittem volna, hogy szeretem az operát...

Amazing... I never thought I would have to love opera...

[HBMars]

wow!!!!!!

majestic!!!

[Alice20414]

เหอะๆ คนฟังแข็งเลย

[bellgaggs]

this song is really good and il only 11

[thedrumbum1990]

@bellgaggs this song is really good and il only 4

[bellgaggs]

stupid

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@bellgaggs Friend, go buy yourself another brain, or get a lot more experience out of life and the world so as not to present yourself as pitiful.

[stanthology]

Despicable? Neocons are despicable! This movie is fun. It's an eargasm, an eyegasm. It is not history? Well I never! But it is still fun and sexy and may be a catalyst so people may become interested enough to seek out history and music and dance. Then after they do, this film will still be an eargasm, an eyegasm, and sexy!

[Thunderharald]

Thank you nyke or w/e your nick is for bringing me here this was some gooooood stuff :)

[amatorynumber]

This is probably the most ridiculous film ever made. Ridiculous and shameful for anyone who knows a bit about history, music or filmaking. Despicable!!! Nice music though.

[hissikkness]

she were very young when she started to act & tons of make up were usual back then.

and thank god we don't see any computer aminated old-face!!

[CameronZuck]

okay but not the actress the lady who sings the song?



[00sevendb]

@CameronZuck

she is no longer nameless, ;-)))

it's the voice of Céline Scheen.

Thanks Google

[wainscottbl]

@CameronZuck

I quite like her. She's rogeous, charming, subtlely seductive.

[jplully]

@wainscottbl Its normal ,she is an actress.

[bellgaggs]

@jplully THE GUY WHO IS SINGING THE GIRLS PART IS WEIRD but funny

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@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.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@FRAGIORGIO1 Sorry about "it's" (it is). I should have written "its". Mea culpa.

[CameronZuck]

why do they seem to get older as the scene ends?

and dose anyone know the lady who is singing?

[TheZacharyArneson]

@CameronZuck They are supposed to be getting older. It is supposed to show how Lully never regains the king's support.

She is just a nameless singer in the movie, I don't know who she is in real life.

[ibachev]

@CameronZuck

the actress is Claire Keim

[yitzchak13]

this song SUCKS !

these talentless anccient composors don't know how to write music like modern musical geniouses like Lil' Wayne

Lil' Wayne <3 forever

[ClactuSucks]

@yitzchak13 Thank you for your complete ignorance

[TheBaronofBallstein]

@yitzchak13 LMFAO Lil Wayne is the pigmented left nut of JB Lully LOL Your parents should have seriously considered abortion back then...

[lalungenuictdestens]

@yitzchak13 The little jew Yitzchak spoke! :D hahaha. Who care what this jew thinks? 

[10stringGuitarist]

@yitzchak13 what a brainless soul-less idiot...go lick your mom you fucked up zionist drone

[sealforvr]

I'm guessing in the second half of this the lady on Louis' right is the devout Madame de Maintenon, whom the King secretly married and who brought him back to the Church.

[hissikkness]

amazing - a feast for the senses!!!

too bad you can never see a movie like this in a cinema...

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Stupendous scene, marvelous music! Lully is too little known. He was a genius. Look up his "operas", which were called Tragedie Lyrique or Comedie Lyrique. They are beautiful. I was quite moved the first times I looked at the youtube presentations of Cadmus staged as in those days and with the old French pronunciation (which is pretty close to conservative Canadian French!)

[AliceBaudelaire]

Where can I find this movie?

[thisgalaintdancinmr]

(ouuuuuugh) it looks like it's when he stuck his stick into his foot?? although i have Not seen the movie. (in reality it was during the rehearsals right?)

[HellooKimi]

J'ADORE CE MOMENT. LA MUSIQUE EST SIMPLEMENT PARFAITE.

[bougarcon]

wo kann ich diesen film runterladen hab schon überall gesucht ,könnt ihr mir weiterhelfen...

[Darrigrande]

@bougarcon : Sie können es suchen mit der Originaltitel "Et le roi danse". Es ist in originalsprache (Französich, aber mit englische Untertitel) . Der Film ist in 15 Teile zersplittet, jedoch vollständig. Wünsche ich Ihnen viel Spass, weil der Film ist einfach Klasse!

[cofpaddy]

One of the many great scenes in this movie

[pitababa]

Oh my God! AMAZING

[davehshs]

I would very much like to see an English translation of the words being sung here. I get the impression they are glorifying the king, probably obsequiously.

[erikomertens]

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.

[dblueroom]

@erikomertens yeah, you notice the sitting around the King has changed. while Isis, there was the queen on his right and Montespan on his left, and the last, was that Maintenon?? and Lully's hair has greyed???

[cofpaddy]

@erikomertens Well spotted

[jice0610]

leperenoel666 évidemment quand on est d'un niveau fond de poubelle , difficile de conprendre

[iulius951]

I just wish they did not always show the composer conducting as if he were a 20th-century composer. Lully would not have done anything remotely like that....

[earenaeus]

@iulius951 In their defence, Lully is shown to conduct with the conducting staff and with a pochette in the film as did happen in that period.

[yitzchak13]

@iulius951 yeah, he does look like a faggot

[NeonPegasus]

@iulius951 What would he have done then? I am not a musician so your comment made me curious!

[TobiOpfa]

schwieriges Publikum...(difficult audience) :D

[thiagoblanco]

@TobiOpfa Aber genau!

[jice0610]

quelle grandeur et quelle majesté avait la France à cette époque !

[glup2glup]

@jice0610 N'exagerons pas, le peuple etait saigné à blanc par les impots

[MrOrizon]

@glup2glup

c'est faux, proportionnellement on paye plus maintenant, d'ailleurs c'est a cette époque qu'a commencer à exploser la grande bourgeoisie et la fortune des marchand et usurier. La seul différence c'était que la corruption était plus importante à l'époque du fait d'une administration et d'un contrôle encore rudimentaire. ça permettait à certain noble locaux d'en profiter il faut aussi le reconnaitre.

[leperenoel666]

@jice0610 Preuve est faite qu'en une petite phrase, on peut dire une énorme connerie.

[jice0610]

absolument génial !!!

[Temaile]

Gosh, so beautiful...

[MozartIsFancylalala]

what act is this in isis

[iriscelta]

Um rei como poucos!!fantástico!Vive La France..

[maybewedidntexistyet]

Is the main singer played by Claire Keim?

[jplully]

@maybewedidntexistyet Yep

[davehshs]

The king looks like a freaking mannequin! If it was considered unroyal to display a human expression, then being king must have been a real drag. Maybe that's why he was such a power freak. That was the only "satisfaction" he could get.

[chriszhuobeilee]

@jplully It was the influence of Mm Maintenon - the darker scene appeared to be after Louis XIV had secretly married Maintenon. They were the only 2 sitting in armchairs (who gets to sit and where was very important in Louis XIV's court).

The grief for the queen was also short lived. Louis XIV married Maintenon only a few months after the queen's death. It was after all a loveless political marriage (the one with the queen).

[jplully]

@davehshs His wife died , you see the diffrends at 1:29 The expression is differend.

[chriszhuobeilee]

@davehshs You should see the entire movie.

[denvaria]

Look at her : "Claire Keim" she is so SEXY in this scene!!!!!!! I would like a "a meeting in the woods " with her ! Dream on !

[chelseagurl97]

I love Lully's music but I hate this actor portraying him with histrionic excess. I wish the king would just get on stage and cornhole him before the whole world and give him a buzz cut afterwards. I can't stand his dumb face and how he shamefully renounces his Italian heritage just to fit in. I hope the real Lully wasnt like this.

[NapoleonCalland]

@chelseagurl97 The real Lully renounced his Florentine heritage to fit in (and because he wanted to serve his beloved king Louis XIV (also called Louis the Great). He was homosexual or more probably, bisexual, in an age in which that could still get you burned at the stake (the last case I've found in the Paris area was in 1764 I think) and he was an artist who needed to fit in if he was to survive (as the prince of Conti reminds him in the film)... he had a lot to be "histrionic" about!

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@chelseagurl97 What do you mean "shamefully renounces..."? He was 14 when he went there. Was Einstein or any other great immigrant to the US shamefully renouncing their heritage? Lully had great success in France. What was he in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany: a scullery boy? The last French veteran of WW I was an Italian who emigrated to France, did well there, and fought for France in gratitude and love of his adopted country. How many immigrants to other countries can say that also? Many.

[gjc82071]

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.

[chelseagurl97]

@gjc82071 In many things such as penicillin,ice cream,capitalism,and showering on a daily basis the herd is correct but as far as the Arts are concerned what is usually popular and liked by most is to be dreaded and kicked in the face with great alacrity. You cannot say you love Classical music if you only know Mozart.

[MrStefanovitsch]

@chelseagurl97 You can't claim to have a very *broad* knowledge of classical music if you only listen to Mozart. On the other hand, the man has written so much and of such quality, I think you might excuse someone for being bedazzled by it. Personally, I try and find new composers I haven't heard any work of, yet I keep drifting back to Mozart at regular intervals. Avoiding music just because it's well-known is never a good thing.

[chelseagurl97]

@gjc82071 Let them have their std waxing infantile Gaga, stay the hell away from my Monteverdi. This is how it was meant to be.

[EduardoBrasil10000]

Puta viadagem.

[jysgro]

Beautiful.... I did not know about this movie... and after seeing this sample I immediately ordered the DVD on Amazon (went to Amazon CA because on Amazon.com some sellers are trying to gouge... up to 89.99$ but on Amazon COM it is only 12.95 CDN which translated as 12.62 USD today...) Such beautiful music and performance THe movie looks amazing... THanks!

[denvaria]

@gemuck1 Try amazon .com !

[chriszhuobeilee]

@gemuck1 I found the DVD (new, with English subtitle) on eBay last month. It was a very happy day when it arrived in the mail.

[trabalhosmanuais]

This music makes me remember of the TE DEUM DU ROI... The entrance of the choir is the same motifs...

[Konklavius]

Lully ist der größte Komponist des Barock. Er hat nicht die Bläße der deutschen Komponisten die auf Barock machen. Er verkörpert die Zeit des Barock wie kein Anderer.

[klausmann111]

vive Lully !!!!!!

[Staceyeb3030]

0:44 - 0:56 sounds very similar to Lully's Te Deum. His music is marvelous. It surprises me that Lully is not more well known.

[Agounet]

Lully the RockStar !

[kieran196]

Vive LE ROI, Vive Louis Le Grand!

[denvaria]

Goosebumps !

[thiagoblanco]

I loved this aria, I saw the final part like 8 times one followed by the other jajaja.

[Maegester1]

Absolutely superbe..................

You're  a wizard, Baptiste !

[jplully]

@23vb7sl Yes, He was !

[thelouisfanclub]

it is my dream to sing a panegyric in front of Louis XIV

... do you think that's unrealistic?

[TarEldamir]

@thelouisfanclub Not at all :]

[wainscottbl]

@thelouisfanclub

Maybe in heaven!

[LaBelleDanse]

@thelouisfanclub ...Sing in front of Louis?

Unrealistic?

Well you could perhaps sing in front of the remnants of his 300 year old corpse.

;-)

[thelouisfanclub]

@LaBelleDanse

Except I couldn't because they don't even have his body intact anymore. His tomb was desecrated in the 1790s!!

[Kokoleezah]

Oh gosh i love him! but i really hate the girl from my college,who is a bitch, :D has his last name (lully)

what a ofense for Jean U___U

[MrKurimu]

Wspaniała muzyka,piękny film "le roi danse"-"król tańczy".Surtout,baroque.

[dreAmygiirLy]

[ZsaZsadoll]

[Toxin08]

Definitely gonna see this movie now.

[jplully]

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! This part!

[wildsugarfly]

@jplully  me too ... there so much intensity and fire in his look (Lully) ... captivating !!!!

[ImperatrixInfernalis]

@jplully totally agree :D. Truly magnificent. I think the movie's soundtrack has the best Lully's interpretations so far.

[szymonwolnicki]

l love that movie!!! Lully and Louis XIV rocks!!! fucking amazing video...

[willgeek]

The set pieces in this film are mind blowing, extraordinary, and incomparably beautiful....only problem is, Lully would NEVER have conducted like this (although Gustavo Dudamel does, lol....!). He used a giant staff and simply beat time. But what a great scene, nevertheless, thanks for posting!

[jplully]

@willgeek Also in a opera?

[Dicopsy]

"Les dieux"... Ça sentait déjà le paganisme... Un siècle après le résultat ne s'est pas fait attendre.

[NapoleonCalland]

La Révolution a été le fruit d'une crise alimentaire (mauvaises récoltes sur plusieurs années et donc débuts de famine) accompagnée d'un blocage institutionnel (Louis XVI voulant réformer la France et la Navarre, mais sans pouvoir devant les parlements) et une crise des finances de l'État. Le "paganisme" a été une réaction contre la monarchie pendant le règne de la Terreur, et rien à voir avec Louis XIV.

[Dicopsy]

La révolution s'est peut-être appuyée sur un contexte économique difficile, mais elle fut le fruit pourri de complots bien réfléchis, dont nous avons les preuves historiques (voir Adam Weishaupt par exemple). Ces complots ayant pu aboutir à cause de la perversion des mœurs au sommet de l'État (Louis XV mourut de la syphilis)

Ce paganisme fut une des manifestations de cette perversion.

Il reste à savoir pourquoi cette funeste résurgence du paganisme eut lieu.

[Klaudios777]

Je crois en effet que Dieu a utilisé la Révolution pour balayé le paganisme et la vanité des Rois qui s'élevait jusque devant le trône Céleste. Aussi parce que, paraît-il, le Roi Louis XIV était très Chrétien ce qui faisait et fait encore blasphémer les gens contre le Tout-Puissant.

Je crois que tout les royalistes se doivent de comprendre cela avant de prendre la position de Monarchiste.

[Dicopsy]

Hum... Je ne sais pas si "Dieu utilisa la révolution pour balayer le paganisme". Pour reprendre ce raisonnement assez juste dans son mécanisme mais en changeant les sujets pour mieux correspondre à une certaine réalité historique et théologique, je dirais plutôt que le diable utilisa le paganisme pour déclencher une révolution et bouleverser les lois de Dieu.

Lire le très bon livre "étude sur la révolution" de l'Abbé Pierre de Clorivière, contemporain de ces évènements funestes.

[Klaudios777]

Oui c'est vrai. Tu as raison. La Monarchie Absolue de Louis XIV a été un projet minutieux de Satan. Il a commencé en faisant revenir l'ère du polythèisme à travers les arts et il a perverti l'image de la Monarchie comme étant tyrannique et injuste, pour ensuite présenté la République à l'image de l'Empire Romain. L'Empire Romain dans toute sa splendeur est dans sa nature paganne/paĩenne.
