Description
English: Lulli composed the incidental music for a ballet, La Princesse d'Elide, which formed part of Molière's divertissement, “Les plaisirs de l'île enchantée,” written for a great festival at Versailles on the 7th of May 1664. It is among Philidor's copies of Lulli's ballets preserved in the library of the Paris Conservatoire of Music (vol. xlvii., p. 61). One number is “Air des valets de chiens et des chasseurs avec les cors de chasse,” set for five horns in B♭. Here the use of D, the fifth note of the harmonic series, indicates that the fundamental was the note shown in this image.
