The image depicts an open book with two pages of text, written in a language that appears to be French. The text is in blue font and is densely packed on both pages. On the left side of the image, there is a partial view of a black-and-white photograph showing a group of people, possibly from an older era, standing together. The photograph includes some architectural details in the background, such as ornate carvings and a decorative archway. The overall impression is that this book might be a historical or literary work, possibly a novel or a collection of essays, given the formal and dense nature of the text.

1. Lully IV a Violino Principale

  • The Flute d'Echo, and the Violin
  • Un Violino e Violone in Ripiano
  • Violinello e Continuo
  • Allegro - Indiante - Presto

2. Dutch Dances

  • The dances from the Netherlands are among the oldest documents of music for orchestra. They are of anonymous authorship, except the Chanson, composed by Clemens non Papa, and the Gailliard by Benedict Grep. They represent the popular dance music of the day. Just as modern "swing" does of the present, and are not the stylized movements of the dance suites of the 17th and 18th centuries. The Passamezzo d'Italia, with its series of variations, points the way to the variation-suite of a later period.

3. L'Apothéose de Lully

  • François Couperin, a great master of the Italian style, was well acquainted with the French dance suite. In 1725 he wrote two "Apothéoses" or "Concerts Instrumentaux," one in memory of Corelli and one in memory of Lully. Though not conceived for the theater, these two instrumental suites are veritable musical characterizations, and evoke through their rhythms and descriptive devices, a vivid picture of the participants in these little music dramas.

The descriptive titles of the various pieces composing the Anthesis of Lully are of great importance, and must be followed for an understanding of the work. For convenience, the work is divided into three parts on the present program, with an interlude, perhaps the apex of the work from a programmatic point of view, placed between parts II and III. A brief description of the various sections follows.
