The first time I heard this melody was when I was a kid. I never knew its name, but I kept its tone and rithymn in my mind. More than twelve years later, I heard it again and immediately recognized it. It was a beautiful feeling to hear it again. I will always keep this song in my heart.

Tous les matins du monde est un film français réalisé par Alain Corneau et sorti en 1991. Il est tiré du roman éponyme écrit par Pascal Quignard, qui retrace la vie du compositeur français du XVIIe siècle, Marin Marais, et ses relations avec un autre compositeur contemporain, Jean de Sainte-Colombe. Il rencontre un important succès, avec plus de deux millions d'entrées, et remporte le César du meilleur film (1992). Il contribue à la renaissance de la musique baroque et à faire connaître la viole de gambe, interprétée dans le film par Jordi Savall, grand spécialiste de cet instrument.
This music (called Folia) is a traditional music of Spain from Renaissance period. Many composers have made variations (Vivaldi, Salieri, Lully...even Bach). The best modern version is from the catalan composer Jordi Savall. I suggest you listen to it.
Hello Xavier. Please do always mention that the portuguese peasants would also dance as it is refered in works by Gil Vicente, Portugal's legendary dramatist.
Isn't Savall just the interpret ? I saw he made two whole discs about "La Folia", but no track is claimed to have been composed by him. He just played them.
Voir et revoir et entendre la sublime interprétation du grand Marin Marais par le grand acteur et regretté Jean Pierre Marielle, dans le film "tous les matins du monde" .
Un peu tôt pour le baroque, j’ai une certaine réticence à appeler la musique française de cette époque par ce nom, elle est si particulière . À redécouvrir les leçons de ténèbres de couperin , une splendeur absolue
Wow. What an epic finale, it took my breath away! I have been an aficionado of western classical music since 1979 from a land where it was and is still regarded as a pariah. My enjoyment of this form of "Pleasure is yours" began with accidentally listening to the aforementioned classical music request program on BBC shortwave radio and the theme music of the program hooked me into the wonderful world of classical music (Armstrong was correct :what a wonderful world). But the advent of internet platforms like RUclips changed my appreciations of wonderful music pieces of the Masters(still my all time favorites are maestros like JSBach, Mozart and Beethoven together) to the newly discovered gems like this wonder.I wonder how they were left out by ignoring the magical music pieces like this. Nowadays, I listen to this gem every morning and I can't describe how it changes my state of mind before getting into the monotony of office life till evenings. Thanks again and my appreciations to the wonderful people responsible for uploading this for the enjoyment of millions. Three cheers!
there is such an enormous world of western classical music beyond bach, mozart, and beethoven - it’s frustrating (well, except for bach IMO, i could listen to bach forever) how they dominate the initial landscape most people encounter.
Music is universal, to hell what others may think,I listen to music from all over the world there are no boundaries as far as music is concerned. Greetings from Wales. I started my musical journey in 1956 with Handel's Messiah at school thanks to my music teacher. Cheers
Great, from 1956 but it's not a great achievement for a westerner as you are supposed to be enjoying your classical music at a young age.But if you are well versed in music from all over the world I have to yield!
I would like to comment that I listen to this piece daily, and never tire of it--in fact, every experience leaves me more at peace and focused than before; the story told behind each note never grows old.
Imagine as a race brining fourth a culture, who produces the most talented composers the world has ever known, who compose and wrote melodies so complex that it caused those who listened to it intensively (scientifically proven) to progress cognitively. Tell that to those zionist BLM supporting haters of the white European Christian race.
Ich bin einfach immer wieder überwältigt von der Größe dieser Musik , des Gambisten Marais . Der Glanz des Sonnenkönigs ! Jeder der improvisiert sollte diese Musik studieren . Diese Klangfarben und das Kontinuum und das Feuer .
Ralph Yznaga True! This is one of the best version I’ve heard of Folias, however, I prefer this one by Jordi Savall and also the one played by Los Otros. ruclips.net/video/5Frq7rjEGzs/видео.html
If you want to listen a fine Follia, take the 26 variations on this theme by Salieri. Yes, you've correctly seen. It's the same about whom they said he were jealous on Mozart. Such a scrap! Mozart was pushed post mortem by the Free Masons. During his lifetime he never had a contract, just short-sighted.
For the love of God, what an astonishing sound and beautiful song. Something magic. Harpsichords explosions and violas progressions are from heaven came.
I cant stop revisiting this piece and this particular rendering of it, seamlessly spanning from serenely beautiful peace to stadium mosh pit. Absolutely fantastic. So well done - thank you!
Oui tellement exceptionnelle....les ornements qu'elle rajoute sont joués de manière si élégante, et puis le son, comment la viole de gambe résonne...et puis tout le reste, les reprises à tempo, les passages lents et coulés... la plénitude quand on écoute...
quand j'entends la musique, je me sens prête à tout, gagner le paradis, aller à Tombouctou c'est un simple baiser déposé sur ma joue, l'appel en liberté qui me retient debout sans chercher à faiblir sous le jet de caillou je serai la merveille prostrée sur ses genoux je serai le soleil et ferait des jaloux plus rien ne me retient, je vais aller au bout, jusqu'à ce que renaisse la grenouille Zouzou jusqu'à ce que soit libre chacun de nos hiboux...
What an amazing thing is sheet music. Despite his death 291 years ago, Marin Marais still turns our ears with his tunes. And 300 years hence, not only will our descendants still play Marais, they will be able to listen to the Beatles as though they were in the next room.
la musique baroque a une spécificité particulière par rapport autres musiques toutes aussi remarquables. ET je ne parle pas que de la musique classique, jazz, rock , pop, folklore , variétés, tout ça est merveilleux aussi. mais LE BAROQUE A UNE construction intellectuelle basée sur Les mouvements EN RAPPORT A LA danse. je répète la DANSE !! . gavotte, sarabande, gigue etc.. , d’où sa modernité essayez de danser sur une symphonie de Beethoven ?; cela touche une autre région de notre cerveau, une mélodie de Faure, un air d’opéra de Mozart, l'adagietto de Mahler, un air d’opéra de Puccini, tout CA est sublime mais différent, il y a quelque chose d'autre dans la musique baroque qui dégage une inégalable pureté , une joie franche si proche de nos attentes
... nach meinem Empfinden hat Marais die beste Bearbeitung des "La Follia"-Themas geliefert. Sie ist am empfindsamsten, aber wohl auch die technisch schwierigste Version. - Wie eine Stimme aus der Vergangenheit, die aber auch heute noch zu begeistern vermag!
I have only recently discovered the folia, and have enjoyed exploring it's variations. However, I keep coming back to this piece. I believe it's grip is not from the music as written, but from the musicians that play it. Particularly Sophie Watillon. How tragic to discover a musician whose art is transcendent, only to learn she has passed on. Her art still lives and inspires.
This theme is Universal even Beethoven's 5th Symphony make use of it. In fact nobody knows who composed it, and it is ancient, very ancient, in fact the oldest or recurrent themes known in Europe. My favorite interpretation of it is from Antonio Salieri: 26 variations on La Folie (contrary to popular culture impression created by the movie Amadeus, Salieri was a brilliant composer, this image was created on Weimar Republic to get a musician that could be a hero for the German people, and as Salieri and Mozart mutually hated each other and Salieri was Italian they turned him on his nemesis what was never true).
Efectivamente, me uno a lo que algunas personas comentan... Es para mí imposible escuchar esta maravilla sin dejarme llevar por una especie de nostalgia, una especie de recuerdo difuso pero increíblemente sublime y bello de algo pasado que no he vivido, pero que mi alma recuerda gracias a la puerta que esta maravillosa música le abre. Incomprensibles y bellas sensaciones...
Awesome performance; I play this magnificent piece on a treble recorder for almost 35 years. And it remains always challenging to play it. It sounds even good without the continuo. I have played this for an audience many times this way.
Quite simply the most elegantly melancholic piece I ever heard and uncounted are-encounters have never dimmed that first love... wrote an entire play with this echoing in my imagination... and never stop trying to write ✍️ around it the words as evocative as the melody🥺
From the beginning to the end this melody is an exquisite composition of culture, nostalgia, and elegance I can just imagine the Spanish aristocracy dancing to the piece, very well done .
It’s great, it really is. But it would be a shame to discard the wealth of other fantastic music out there… I’m listening to Saint-Saëns 3rd symphony as I write this… a magnificent work Holst’s Planets is fabulous, Vaughan Williams 5th is sublime, the there is Ravel, Joseph Jongen, Delius, Bax, Hovhaness, Mussorgsky, etc. There is just so much incredibly beautiful music out there, it would be a shame to miss it 😊
Gary Gray omg yes !!!! Thanks !!! Thats exactly the words I was looking for ! This one and passacaille darmide are just moving everything from inside and i feel like i dont belong here but where I was before.
This is beautiful beyond words and time. No wonder why musical geniuses such as Jean Baptiste Lully and Vivaldi made their own versions. This kind of things validates RUclips.
Pour certains on ne pourrait pas admirer ou être nostalgique d'une époque que l'on n'a pas vécue ! Mais alors ,c'est effacer l'histoire et tenir le passé pour inexistant ! Pourtant, on admire un héros du passé que l'on n'a pas connu , un grand musicien comme Mozart, un grand médecin et chercheur comme pasteur, un grand navigateur comme christophe Colomb etc... l' homme contemporain ne considérerait que ce qu'il connaît par sa propre expérience ? Mais des hommes ont existes avant lui et méritent notre respect : les architectes et ouvriers des pyramides dans l'Égypte ancienne et ceux des cathédrales gothiques . Bien sûr tout n'était pas parfait et des changements étaient nécessaires.

Comment supprimer cette correction systématique de certains mots et noms propres qui nous empêche d'écrire ce que l'on souhaite !vous avez dit intelligence artificielle ?
Un souvenir ému de Sophie Watillon, que j'ai rencontré une fois : une véritable virtuose, qui nous a quitté bien trop tôt et bien trop jeune ! Elle a souvent joué avec Jordi Savall.
Elle nous a quitté très tôt. Pourtant, Sophie Watillon est parvenue a rester immortelle avec son enregistrement de Marais. Le meilleur Marais jamais joué de nos jours.
I lived a past life in the 18th century. Ever since I was five years old and I learned about the American revolution; I’ve been in love with that time period. The rich culture, and passion for the arts.
Marais lived in the 17th century. You confuse with Bach, Rameau, Vivaldi, Haendel for the first part of the 18 th century and Mozart and Haydn for the second part. Marais doesn't belong to the Baroque period. Marais was nearly 30 years old when Bach was born.
Maravillosa musica que nos reconforta ,nos rescata de este universo tan enfermo y loco y nos eleva ,por un instante, de toda la estupidez y vulgaridad que nos rodea. Esta maravilla nos impulsa a continuar vivos.
Les Folies d'Espagne with its variations composed by various authors in different periods, are all beautiful and interesting but what I consider the best, is that of Marin Marais for viola da gamba and continuo, and that of Arcangelo Corelli entitled La Follia, for violin and continuo. This interpretation of Sophie Watillon, unfortunately died prematurely, is very beautiful.
There's something I don't quite understand, "les folies d'Espagne" literally means "los folios de España" but I'm reading that this woman is French... is it just a name and the music it's unreletad to Spain or something?
@@celeridad6972 Actually, in spite of its name, les folies d'Espagne or Follia is originaly a Portugese dance of the Renaissance. Its modern and most famous version (the melody of this variations set) is first attested in variations composed by Lully in 1672. A lot of composers have then used this piece in variations like Corelli, Vivaldi, Marin Marais (this piece), Salieri... I precise that the composer of this piece, Marin Marais, is not a woman but a man. This is not him on the picture.
I’m proud to have played this instrument. I wish to go back to playing. Unfortunately the instrument is so expensive. I played 7 years when I was a child ❤😢
Красивая девушка с виолончелью и шикарная музыка!!! Да, старина всегда притягивает своей романтичностью, и несмотря на то, что для людей того времени их жизнь была обыденностью, и они отчетливо ощущали на себе её тяготы, для нас то время окутано тайной, а потому его невозможно не романтизировать. Кто знает, быть может, если человечество протянет ещё несколько сотен лет, то наши потомки через лет 200 тоже будут романтизировать наши времена, да так, что нам будет сложно представить. «Что вообще можно увидеть романтичного в современном капиталистическом обществе потребления?» - думают многие из нас. Однако, если бы некоторые из нас оказались в будущем и нам бы рассказывали потомки о нашем времени, мы бы, возможно, попытались бы по другому смотреть на нашу жизнь. Сложно пересмотреть свою точку зрения, если всё окружающее тебя становится обыденностью, если ты живёшь в этом, поэтому невозможно прямо сейчас представить, что таинственного и загадочного найдут потомки в нашем времени.

@Boris Clover-- Indeed the picture is rococo and seen the style, it should be of the French painter, François Boucher (1703-1770), then later to Marin Marais (1656-1728). However, both had contacts with the court of Louis XIV. And then the illustration shows a 7-string viola da gamba that was the viola played by Marin Marais and invented by his teacher, Monsieur de Sainte Colombe. So, there is a certain consistency. But these are little things, the important thing is that this work by Maris is extraordinary, as is the execution of Sophie Watillon.
Like Antoine Vaillant already mentioned in his comment, the picture shows Anne Henriette de Bourbon (alias "Madame Seconde" or "Madame Henriette"), doughter of Louis XV. and his wife Maria Leszczyńska. She lived from 1727 till 1752- The Portrait was not painted by Boucher but by Jean-Marc Nattier (1685-1766) as a kind of memento mori shortly after she died and with her most beloved instrument the gamba. The picture is in display in the Chambre de Madame Victoire, a part of the "Appartements des Mesdames" at the ground flor of the Château de Versailles.
And yet her clothing appears more late Baroque than rococo to me. I guess you can't argue with the facts of the painting, but the lack of a separate stomacher and robe reminds me of earlier bodices. Although, on second look, her stays are definitely of the period in which it was painted, with such a distinct conical shape to her torso. And obviously the hair as well. Just the dress seems strange to me.
@@briannaysiamodonnell478 The Follia or Folies d''Espagne originaly comes from Portugal, then it became popular in whole Europe during the 17th century. His modern and most famous form is first attested in variations by Lully. This melody was then used in a lot of variation like this ones, by Marin Marais, French violist and composer who lived during the reign of Louis XIV and the begining of the Louis XV's one. So this is not music from the Spanish court at all, but from the French one.

The portrait is of Princess Henriette, one of the children of Louis XV, by Jean-Marc Nattier- she died of smallpox at the young age of 24.

My favorite interpretation of it is from Antonio Salieri: 26 variations on La Folie (contrary to popular culture impression created by the movie Amadeus, Salieri was a brilliant composer, this image was created on Weimar Republic to get a musician that could be a hero for the German people, and as Salieri and Mozart mutually hated each other and Salieri was Italian they turned him on his nemesis what was never true).
Oui son art vit toujours. Inoubliable Sophie Watillon.
Gyönyörű zene, kitűnő előadásban! Köszönöm a föltöltést!
Soulful. Inspiring. Riveting. Amazing!
Brava, Ms. Watillon. This is magnificent.
Efectivamente, me uno a lo que algunas personas comentan... Es para mí imposible escuchar esta maravilla sin dejarme llevar por una especie de nostalgia, una especie de recuerdo difuso pero increíblemente sublime y bello de algo pasado que no he vivido, pero que mi alma recuerda gracias a la puerta que esta maravillosa música le abre. Incomprensibles y bellas sensaciones...
muchas gracias
Concuerdo con vos
Awesome performance; I play this magnificent piece on a treble recorder for almost 35 years. And it remains always challenging to play it. It sounds even good without the continuo. I have played this for an audience many times this way.
You should post to youtube
Quite simply the most elegantly melancholic piece I ever heard and uncounted are-encounters have never dimmed that first love... wrote an entire play with this echoing in my imagination... and never stop trying to write ✍️ around it the words as evocative as the melody🥺
I understand your feeling... i would put the music for the funeral of Queen Anne, by Purcell, on the same level.
Inmortal Sophie Watillon en esta interpretación.
“Immortal” is unfortunately a poor choice of word. She passed away far too young
Me gusta esa calma frialdad invernal que transmite la vibración y sonido de cada instrumento. Me recuerdan días muy nublados.
From the beginning to the end this melody is an exquisite composition of culture, nostalgia, and elegance I can just imagine the Spanish aristocracy dancing to the piece, very well done .
If one can stomach the Spanish aristocracy
Just love that "happy ending". Reminds me of The Four Seasons. Virtuoso of the viola.
I've found it. I've found the greatest piece of music in history.. thus far
It’s great, it really is. But it would be a shame to discard the wealth of other fantastic music out there… I’m listening to Saint-Saëns 3rd symphony as I write this… a magnificent work Holst’s Planets is fabulous, Vaughan Williams 5th is sublime, the there is Ravel, Joseph Jongen, Delius, Bax, Hovhaness, Mussorgsky, etc. There is just so much incredibly beautiful music out there, it would be a shame to miss it 😊
This music resonates from the fiber of my being. It’s like genetic memory.
Gary Gray omg yes !!!! Thanks !!! Thats exactly the words I was looking for ! This one and passacaille darmide are just moving everything from inside and i feel like i dont belong here but where I was before.
From the very first listening on.
Same! It feels like a literal part of my being.
Me too!
same here
This is beautiful beyond words and time. No wonder why musical geniuses such as Jean Baptiste Lully and Vivaldi made their own versions. This kind of things validates RUclips.
Absolument fabuleux, merci!
What a passion! It starts like any other piece of Barocco music, but then it transforms into something as fiery as Spanish castagnettes.
I love the transitions especially with the theorbo and guitars
What a divine harmony! Who could for God's sake give dislike to this?
Superb artistry by the composer and performers. Balm for the soul.
Nobody knows who the composer is
A big smile, tears, and goosebumps. Excellent.
Nostalgique de cette époque où la France était grande !
Pour certains on ne pourrait pas admirer ou être nostalgique d'une époque que l'on n'a pas vécue ! Mais alors ,c'est effacer l'histoire et tenir le passé pour inexistant ! Pourtant, on admire un héros du passé que l'on n'a pas connu , un grand musicien comme Mozart, un grand médecin et chercheur comme pasteur, un grand navigateur comme christophe Colomb etc... l' homme contemporain ne considérerait que ce qu'il connaît par sa propre
expérience ? Mais des hommes ont existes avant lui et méritent notre respect : les architectes et ouvriers des pyramides dans l'Égypte ancienne et ceux des cathédrales gothiques . Bien sûr tout n'était pas parfait et des changements étaient nécessaires.
@@henryfonteneau8087 Oui👍Quand le roi construisait des grands palais partout,plusieurs des maçons et des ouvriers avaient perdu leur vie.Il y avait beaucoup d'analphabétisme de pauvreté,de misère ...non?
@@ΝικηΚαραισκου-π7χ oui,des souffrances et de la misère existaient à cette époque, la société était inégalitaire, mais d,autres regimes , a des époques récentes ont fait souffrir le peuple : je pense en particulier à l'horreur qui régna en Russie sous Staline!!!
r!
(pardon pour le francais) .Je suis D'ACORD avec tous votres paroles
Comment supprimer cette correction systématique de certains mots et noms propres qui nous empêche d'écrire ce que l'on souhaite !vous avez dit intelligence artificielle ?
Magnifico. Destila la esencia de España. Gracias.
Un souvenir ému de Sophie Watillon, que j'ai rencontré une fois : une véritable virtuose, qui nous a quitté bien trop tôt et bien trop jeune ! Elle a souvent joué avec Jordi Savall.
+Avalon8741 Las, elle nous a quitté trop vite... Une virtuose de la viole de gambe !
Elle nous a quitté très tôt. Pourtant, Sophie Watillon est parvenue a rester immortelle avec son enregistrement de Marais. Le meilleur Marais jamais joué de nos jours.

Beautiful music of the Spanish court...
🙏🌬👂💖😇
celestial, luminous, as well the composer and the players.
TY
I am listening to this piece over and over. I've recently discovered it and it's amazing.
Une musique tellement moderne et qui fait du bien au moral
c'est certainement parce que Hollywood s'en est inspiré, la musique du film le dernier des Mohicans lui ressemble étrangement
Watillon’s oerformance has got it all. It makes me weep - and dance - and rouses longing - and puts my mind at rest
i really appreciate this precious music
So.beautiful
Lockdown seems more bearable. Le confinement passe mieux.
I lived a past life in the 18th century. Ever since I was five years old and I learned about the American revolution; I’ve been in love with that time period. The rich culture, and passion for the arts.
Αha!Moi aussi!J'ai vécu dans la Révolution française!Après à Suisse 👍
Marais lived in the 17th century. You confuse with Bach, Rameau, Vivaldi, Haendel for the first part of the 18 th century and Mozart and Haydn for the second part. Marais doesn't belong to the Baroque period. Marais was nearly 30 years old when Bach was born.
This is really cool to listen to with headphones, especially when the guitars first come in at 2:59 :-)
no son guitarras, son vihuelas
@@anamargaritaalbarran9887 Oh ok, thanks for informing me.
;-)
Beautiful music of the Spanish court...
Katelyn Groh I agree- very cool. 😌
opabinia56 la viola da gamba no tiene una sonoridad parecida a la guitarra ni a la vihuela, que son de cuerda punteada
Pure magic. Thank you.
Que bella Composición y Armonía Adoro La Viola de Gamba. La Musica del Periodo Barroco y el Preromaticismo es Estar en los Campos Eliceos.
Восхитительная музыка!
ok
Notre culture.est brillante, généreuse et invincible
Amen! ❤
Amen
Alas Sophie Watillon. We are poorer without you.
Maravillosa musica que nos reconforta ,nos rescata de este universo tan enfermo y loco y nos eleva ,por un instante, de toda la estupidez y vulgaridad que nos rodea. Esta maravilla nos impulsa a continuar vivos.
Por certo ! Eleva-nos a alma .
absolutely splendid.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this beautiful selection.
Я в восторге .От музыки и исполнения.
Les Folies d'Espagne with its variations composed by various authors in different periods, are all beautiful and interesting but what I consider the best, is that of Marin Marais for viola da gamba and continuo, and that of Arcangelo Corelli entitled La Follia, for violin and continuo. This interpretation of Sophie Watillon, unfortunately died prematurely, is very beautiful.
Wrong! The best variations on Follia are the 26 for violin, harp and orchestra by Antonio Salieri.
There's something I don't quite understand, "les folies d'Espagne" literally means "los folios de España" but I'm reading that this woman is French... is it just a name and the music it's unreletad to Spain or something?
@@celeridad6972 Actually, in spite of its name, les folies d'Espagne or Follia is originaly a Portugese dance of the Renaissance. Its modern and most famous version (the melody of this variations set) is first attested in variations composed by Lully in 1672. A lot of composers have then used this piece in variations like Corelli, Vivaldi, Marin Marais (this piece), Salieri...
I precise that the composer of this piece, Marin Marais, is not a woman but a man. This is not him on the picture.

C'est tellement beau...
J'adore !!!!
Cela est beau avec une pointe de délicatesse jolis musique à écouté 😄👌💕😀💯🎵🎵🎵🎶😜☺️💋
Sublime musique.
Suddenly all my aches and pains have disappeared, I think its the strings music vibrations, music is healing
Its called death when ur pains
disappears
ce que je regrette c'est que ça n'a pas été filmé car c'est plus qu'excellent
Magnifique !
Et plein d'énergie !
Grande lavoro.... Grazie 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m proud to have played this instrument. I wish to go back to playing. Unfortunately the instrument is so expensive. I played 7 years when I was a child ❤😢
THis tune -- La folia -- obsessed Baroque composers. They all wrote variations.
Indeed. Im finding more and more
Vivaldi's is my favorite. Any other recommendations?

Am listening to this while strolling in rural Occitanie, Southern France. Bliss.
A écouter sans se lasser
Magnifique et poignant
Красивая девушка с виолончелью и шикарная музыка!!!
Да, старина всегда притягивает своей романтичностью, и несмотря на то, что для людей того времени их жизнь была обыденностью, и они отчетливо ощущали на себе её тяготы, для нас то время окутано тайной, а потому его невозможно не романтизировать. Кто знает, быть может, если человечество протянет ещё несколько сотен лет, то наши потомки через лет 200 тоже будут романтизировать наши времена, да так, что нам будет сложно представить. «Что вообще можно увидеть романтичного в современном капиталистическом обществе потребления?» - думают многие из нас. Однако, если бы некоторые из нас оказались в будущем и нам бы рассказывали потомки о нашем времени, мы бы, возможно, попытались бы по другому смотреть на нашу жизнь. Сложно пересмотреть свою точку зрения, если всё окружающее тебя становится обыденностью, если ты живёшь в этом, поэтому невозможно прямо сейчас представить, что таинственного и загадочного найдут потомки в нашем времени.
Muy bien.... Muy bien. MUY BIEN. Ejecución elegante, sentida, sutil y deliciosa.
La musique baroque française était un plaisir pour Louis ... XIV
So beautiful I almost can't stand it.

Torino sotto una coltre di gelo. Questa Musica con la emme maiuscola, accarezza il cuore e la mente. Quale dono poterla ascoltare!!!🎻🎼
Meu Deus ! como e possível tanta SAUDADE de um tempo que não vivi. Isto é sublime!
Sencillamente, maravilloso, meravellós, meraviglioso, maravilhoso, merveilleux, mirabile, wonderful, wunderbar
@Boris Clover-- Indeed the picture is rococo and seen the style, it should be of the French painter, François Boucher (1703-1770), then later to Marin Marais (1656-1728). However, both had contacts with the court of Louis XIV. And then the illustration shows a 7-string viola da gamba that was the viola played by Marin Marais and invented by his teacher, Monsieur de Sainte Colombe. So, there is a certain consistency. But these are little things, the important thing is that this work by Maris is extraordinary, as is the execution of Sophie Watillon.
Like Antoine Vaillant already mentioned in his comment, the picture shows Anne Henriette de Bourbon (alias "Madame Seconde" or "Madame Henriette"), doughter of Louis XV. and his wife Maria Leszczyńska. She lived from 1727 till 1752- The Portrait was not painted by Boucher but by Jean-Marc Nattier (1685-1766) as a kind of memento mori shortly after she died and with her most beloved instrument the gamba. The picture is in display in the Chambre de Madame Victoire, a part of the "Appartements des Mesdames" at the ground flor of the Château de Versailles.
This music was from the Spanish court...
And yet her clothing appears more late Baroque than rococo to me. I guess you can't argue with the facts of the painting, but the lack of a separate stomacher and robe reminds me of earlier bodices. Although, on second look, her stays are definitely of the period in which it was painted, with such a distinct conical shape to her torso. And obviously the hair as well. Just the dress seems strange to me.
@@briannaysiamodonnell478 The Follia or Folies d''Espagne originaly comes from Portugal, then it became popular in whole Europe during the 17th century. His modern and most famous form is first attested in variations by Lully. This melody was then used in a lot of variation like this ones, by Marin Marais, French violist and composer who lived during the reign of Louis XIV and the begining of the Louis XV's one.
So this is not music from the Spanish court at all, but from the French one.
