"Passacaille" da Armide
di Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632 - 1687)

Un amant fortuné, puis le Choeur

"Les plaisirs ont choisi pour asile
ce séjour agréable et tranquille.
Que ces lieux sont charmants
pour les heureux amants!

C'est l'amour qui retient dans ses chaines
mille oiseaux qu'en nos bois nuit et jour on entend.
Si l'amour ne causait que des peines
les oiseaux amoureux ne chanteraient pas tant.

Jeunes coeurs, tout vous est favorable,
profitez d'un bonheur peu durable.
Dans l'hiver des nos ans l'Amour ne règne plus,
Les beaux jours que l'on perd sont pour jamais perdus".

La tragédie en musique "Armide" fu l'ultima opera realizzata da Lully.
Poiché il musicista aveva perduto il favore di Luigi XIV, fu rappresentata per la prima volta a Parigi, anziché a Versailles, al Théâtre du Palais-Royal, il 15 febbraio 1686.

    I have a DVD of the Christie production (much of which is on You Tube) and it's wonderful. Some of the direction is a bit over the top for my tastes, but I think the chorus is as good as any chorus I've ever heard (and I'm a chorister and have heard plenty). In addition to this bit, I love the march in the first act. The choreography is fascinating.

    Now to my point. I think the quality of the chorus in this is very good. It might just be Christie's production.

  • I'm Afraid it's not William Chrisitie.

    

  • 素晴らしい曲。ありがと。
