*François Couperin's “The Apotheosis of Lully” was first published in
1725 to honor Jean-Baptiste Lully, the previous century’s most important
French baroque musician who died 40 years earlier, and also to reconcile
the grating differences of opinion among Frenchmen regarding French and
Italian Baroque musical styles, which at that time encompassed very
different and hotly contested stylistic territory. Couperin’s colorful,
musically illustrated story to be narrated by Susie Napper is a unique
and fascinating peek into court life at the court of Louis XIV.
/Will the French king’s star musician make it to heaven or will his
whispering critics deny him entry for all his sins?/
