Jean-Baptiste Lully - O mort! venez finir mon destin

Copied!

O mort! venez finir mon destin déplorable
Ma rivale jouit d'un sort trop favorable
Et je souffrirois trop, si je ne mourois pas
Son bonheur m'a rendu le jour insupportable;
La nuit affreuse du trépas
Ma paroit moins épouvantable
O mort! venez finir mon destin déporable
Hélas! funeste mort, hélas!
Pour les coeurs fortunés vous êtes effroyable;
Mais vos horreurs ont des appas
Pour un coeur que l'amour a rendu misérable
O mort! venez finir mon destin déplorable

Biography

edit bio

Jean-Baptiste Lully (1646-87) was an Italian-born French composer of the Baroque period. His skills made Louis XIV, the Sun King, notice him, and soon he entered his court, where he became superintendent of the king’s chamber’s music, known for his ballets de cour, his operatic and religious works. He became an incredibly influential and affluent composer in his time, founding the French Academy of Music and introducing the “tragédie lyrique” genre in opera. His work essentially defined the style of French music for the next century, characterised by its power, liveliness in its fast movements and its deep emotional character in its slower movements. Besides these, he was himself a skilled violinist and dancer.
