It is a film about the historical relationship between Louis XIV and his superintendent of music, Jean-Baptiste Lully over four decades of the 17th century. As one might expect, most of the music is by Lully himself and is intended for choreographed dancing drawn from his early ballets de cour, his highly entertaining middle-period comedic-ballets and finally his propagandistic tragedies lyriques. The music of Lully's contemporaries is represented by two dances of his predecessor on the violin, Jacques Cordier, a single air de cour of his fatherin-law, Michel Lambert, and an air and a recit from Cambert's 1671 opera Pornone. All the selections, snatched from their original context, sit somewhat uncomfortably, and the booklet essays do little to allay this impression.
