Picnic-Concert
Dancing Master Lully
SO 8. Sep. 2024 | 16:30-17:30
Inner Courtyard of the Servite Church (in case of rain at Sommerchor)
In the summer garden setting, ensemble freymut presents one of the most exciting repertoire pieces of French Baroque music in terms of music history. 38 years after Jean-Baptiste Lully's death, François Couperin wrote the “Apothéose de Lully”, a true homage to the composer, dance master and violinist Jean-Baptiste Lully. The decades-long rivalry between Italian and French composers and the attempt to prove one's own style as superior finds a new perspective in François Couperin. Couperin was interested in the advantages of the “mixed style”, the réunion des goûts. In his homage to Lully, the latter appears as the personification of the French style, while Arcangelo Corelli represents the Italian style. In this dramaturgically rich work, Couperin not only creates a dialog, but also a reconciliation between generations, styles and cultures.
