The opera Atys is a dramatization of the Greek myth about the priest of Cybele who had the bad luck to be the object of the goddess's affection. The luck was bad because he couldn't return her love as he loved a mortal nymph named Sangride. The goddess was not amused and drove him mad, and in his madness he castrated himself. It's one of the most ferocious myths from antiquity. The libretto was by Quinault. In my opinion it is the most powerful dramatized retelling of an ancient myth in modern times., Quinault is a marvelous librettist. Some years ago I had the privilege of translating the French version into English. At that time I was unable to find a modern performance of the opera, so I couldn't form an opinion as to the quality of the music. That has changed. As this excerpt proves, the music was very beautiful.

Très belle version du sommeil et de l’air pour la suite de Flore. L’œuvre de Lully devrait être plus connue.

We (former) editors notice things like a wrong accent on "Moliere" but, Pau, don't stop including the texts on composers' life and works. They are read with attention by some people.

He died suddenly, he did not have time to write his biography. Nevertheless, roughly, it was like this: As, later, J. Haydn was a valet at Porpora's; Similarly - Lully was also a valet at first. From the age of 14, Lully lived with the "Grande Mademoiselle" Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, duchesse de Montpensier, niece of King Louis XIII. and cousin of Louis XIV in the Palais des Tuileries in Paris. The 23-year-old Duchess lived "emancipated" (she had rejected her spouse) and held the second highest rank in France after the Queen as a woman. With her, Lully served as "garçon de chambre" (valet), e.g. B. sorted the wardrobe, heated the fireplaces and lit the candles. He mainly benefited musically, since the Duchess employed famous music and dance teachers for herself; Lully took harpsichord and composition lessons from Nicolas Métru, François Roberday and Nicolas Gigault. Also on the payroll of Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans was the royal dance master, who is believed to have provided Lully's excellent dance training. Jean Regnault de Segrais ("Athys", poème pastoral dédié à S. A. R. Mademoiselle, 1653), secretary to the Mademoiselle who was admitted to the Académie française in 1661, influenced Lully. Lully accompanied the singing and dancing Duchess with the guitar and entertained her as a comedian (A pamphlet from 1705. reports that Lully later spoke gratefully of a "cordelier" / Franciscan church of Santa Croce, Florence/ who gave him his first music lessons and taught him how to play the guitar).

Lilly was almost kicked out of the court of Louis XIV because of an affair with a male page. He was a gay man who never married.
