{"product_id":"lully-jarry-george-dandin-music-cd-1","title":"Lully \/ Jarry - George Dandin - Music CD","description":"It was on July 18, 1668 that Moliere successfully performed George Dandin ou le mari confundu, a play mixed with a sung pastoral, for \"Le Grand Divertissement Royal de Versailles\" offered by Louis XIV to his Court, as a celebration of the Peace of Aachen. This amusing story of a rich peasant who purchases a young noble girl includes interludes set to the splendid music of Lully. The same year sees the promising meeting between Lully and Quinault: together they write for King La Grotte de Versailles, in which Louis is glorified, and dances in person the role of a nymph. These two works, symbolic of the creative vigor of the early days of Versailles, and of the artistic appetite of a thirty-year-old Sovereign, are brought back to life thanks to Gaetan Jarry and Marguerite Louise, with incomparable taste: tambourines, flutes and musettes are part of the festivities and the trumpets proclaim the glory of Louis. Here we have a scintillating echo of the sumptuous festivities given at Versailles by Louis XIV!","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52234507649255,"sku":"CHAV27.2","price":27.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/lully-jarry-george-dandin-music-cd-1","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
