Le Roi Danse

Le Roi Danse. Dies Irae, Motet: Dies Irae (not in the sonundtrack)
Armide: Prélude

[@simonea.3742]

Meraviglioso bravissimo Lully!Esse arranjo no andamento mais lento do que o original e a nova introdução com tambores é de arrepiar.São cenas fortes e muito bem feitas e interpretadas pelos dois atores:Louis XIV et Jean Baptiste Lully,as cenas não precisam ser vocalizadas,elas falam por si só.Um filme de grande beleza e de riqueza musical sem igual. Abbraccio di Brasile

[@robertwalker3386]

The music is like heaven

[@n.h3277]

I'm so obsessed with Lully and his music since this movie. Now I have three versions of Dies Irae. Still, this version is the best for me.

[@-msssrhmrydy12988]

Me too, once I heard his music I was besotted! I am completely hooked on all his magum opuses! Simply brilliant, I love this film so much too!

[@leonleenaarts6000]

It gives acces to ones deepest emotions indeed ! Unveiling what was already there.... Absolute magnificent.......

[@Heartlessiceboy]

this is one of my favorite movies and very important for me also cause im a countertenor and im studying to Lully's music sadly i lost the movie and now i can't buy it again , cause here (i live in México) they don't sell it anymore here only the sountrack is available :(

[@ernestogo19]

2:27 blud had enough😭😭😭

[@wahnano]

Magnifique tout simplement ce Luly

[@danieleadant9219]

Chaque séquence de ce film évoque la grandeur de Louis le XIV ,et le grand siècle de la musique et des arts

[@cloggy010]

brilliant movie...

[@depitesenate8247]

Where can I watch it?

[@slawomirr12]

the drums change it to a completely different thing

[@artgo2000]

Unfortunately the requiem is not on the soundtrack, this is the reason I put the information about the motet Dies Irae in the description. You can find it on amazon.

[@n-br..3416]

The Headbutt is beautiful as much as the music

[@Bellzs]

It's 'Le Roi danse', translated 'The King dances'. It's a french movie, very beautiful, both the music and the pictures. A recommandation!

[@alainbernez2003]

Ce qui est rassurant c'est que même les rois meurent,et eux plus que d'autres..

[@frenchiecocorico1]

This is untrue because "Dies Irae" by Lully was composed in 1683 for the Queen Marie Thérèse funeral (Louis XIV's wife) and not for the Queen Anne d'Autriche funeral (Louis XIV's mother) who died in 1666. Here it miss the Bass singer part between Orchestral Ouverture and Choir reprise (Dies Irae, Dies Illa, Solvet Saeclum in Favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla / This day will be the day of towering rage when this world will be crushed in ashes. That's what David and the Sibyl asserted)

[@mikitavi]

artgo2000: BLESS YOU!! I was going crazy looking for this piece on the soundtrack. Well, o.k., I didn't actually buy the soundtrack, I was looking through the tracks as listed on Amazon - all 35 of them, typing each one on KZbin, hoping someone uploaded a version of that track on KZbin... NOTHING! I kept thinking did I miss it somehow!? Thanks so much for the info, and for uploading this clip. Now I know to buy 2 CDs, the soundtrack AND Lully's Dies Irae.

[@siralexandersequeira3rdcou12]

Lully, the stylish italian.

[@Myouqa]

this my favourite track, i just bought the soundtrack because of this piece and then it wasn't on the CD XD

[@norendin]

Surprisingly, Louis XIV is handsome in this film.

[@2oldfashgrl]

He sure was, or the young fellow who played him was! George Blagden in Versailles, played a pretty good-looking Louis, as well! As a young man, Louis 14, was good-looking as a young man!

[@artgo2000]

I hope you could listen the "Te Deum" of Lully for the Sun King, it's fantastic! Almost 40 minutes of music.

[@frenchiecocorico1]

Là encore le film est faux car l'enterrement de la reine douairière Anne d'Autriche mère de Louis XIV s'est fait avec la "Missa Pro Defunctoris" composée par Eustache du Caurroy pour les enterrements royaux. Le "Dies Irae" de Lully qui illustre cette scène n'est qu'une partie du "Requiem". En plus, il y manque le chant de la Basse après l'introduction orchestrale ( Dies Irae, Dies Illa, Solvet Seclum Infavilla, Teste David Cum Sybilla)

[@babajaga39]

what if someone is so poor that cannot buy it (I am from eastern europe, and i can't get these videos else, because they are too expensive for us... i bring the two kids alone...)

[@julkadab]

The mother of the king LuisXIV has just died, and he's bewailing her. they hadn't been in good terms, so i think the scene is quite interesting. the way he realises that he has lost someone close, and so on.

[@Myouqa]

yeah, thanks to your information i could find a cd with the piece on it at a local store yesterday. thanks so much (:

[@ClassicStrategist]

which cd?

[@carlaalmasiciliotti432]

🌞

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Is it Lully, great,pretty, sacred, holy, colossal, constant in Lully

[@karifredrikson8492]

Where can I find this film? It is fascinating & beautiful! Can anyone help me?

[@angelinakorg7417]

На ютуб! Король танцует

[@HawkFest]

What's ironic about this piece is that it's probably closer to how things happened than any documentary : Louis XIV was the first to bring music/orchestra on the battlefield, exactly that kind of stuff... That King is recognized for having astoundingly raised standards for science, Culture and Arts, then after spreading throughout Europe while leading us into the Age of Enlightenment. "Louis The Great, the Sun King".

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Is the Dies Irae

[@metteholm4833]

It is so sad, we can´t watch the full movie on KZbin any longer.

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Respóndeme ya por favor

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Qué canción es esa

[@artgo2000]

jeje, dentro de los comentarios más abajo coloqué de donde sale esa pieza, hace 12 años, increible que aún sigue vivo este hilo

[@blur82nd]

0:42 who is he??? traitor?

[@artgo2000]

the cousin of the sun king, he wanted the kingdom but we know that Louis ruled like the sun.

[@borweb]

you don't need it, you just want it. Buy the DVD. You can do it.

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Te dije que me respondieras

[@jacquillo]

ALL THE psychological + emotional part is absurd, but the music is wondeful

[@manuelduranvelasco8577]

Te dije que me respondas

[@rosamattina31]

Grande bellezza evocativa per la musica i testi e il video Personalmente di Luigi non mi frega Ai giorni nostri leggo questa opera in un altro modo vedendo altri contenuti....... Lorena Melis 2008

[@Roberto-gr7ne]

Quali,?

[@simikess]

Wanting something you don't want to spend money on is hardly a reason for stealing.

[@pauletfromcallao]

al florentino lo transformaron en frances...

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

I enjoyed solemn, dark Baroque music like this--with drums in the opening. Who else wrote music like this? And why were drums not incorporated more with dark strings? This is his 'Dies Irae', I think.

[@Rachegotter]

Do what the French did in 1789 : the revolution !
