John the Baptist

From high atop beautiful downtown Firenze, Italy, it's time once again for Sadko's World of Music. This week we feature the work of composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, ( 28 November 1632 – 22 March 1687) was an Italian-born French composer who spent most of his life working in the court of Louis XIV of France. He is considered the chief master of the French baroque style. Lully disavowed any Italian influence in French music of the period. He became a French subject in 1661.
