It is ironic, to me this is Lully's most beautiful work and it is for the harlequin!

Harlequino!

Wonderful musicians!!!

un'arlechino stupendo! bravissimo. galantissimo e allegro simultaneo!!

This chaconne also was set by Robert de Visee for theorbo.

I wonder how many modern dance moves have their origins in these old dances.

For my 18th Birthday, my grandfather invited me and my family to Italy. He said he'd give me a surprise for my 18th birthday. I thought he'd give me a lamborghini or something cool. However, it turned out that he hired six silly Harlequins and his musical crew to his mansion to perform a show for me. After the show he asked me how did I like it, I said: " Thanks, grandpa, it was really a surprise to me. I didn't expect it at all. I think I will never forget how did I celebrate my 18 b-day."

His dancing is SUPPOSED to be silly. The character is Harlequin, a comic, silly character.

Jean Baptiste Lully was the court appointed composer at the court of King Louis XIV and the dance's shown in the video can be probably dated from that era!
