Artist: Vingt-Quatre Violons du Roi
Author: Jean-Baptiste Lully
Year: 1670
Conducted by the composer and added with tambours and tambours Basques. Part of comédie-ballet Le Bourgeois Gentil-homme, written by Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) and mixed with Lully's music where needed. First performed in the Palais Chambord for the assembled court around king Louis XIV. This parody of a wealthy bourgeois imitating noblesse in the inner circles around the Sun King was an immediate success.
