History of Music | From Origins to Today

While France crowns the Sun King and Versailles becomes a laboratory of arts and politics, music learns to obey… and rebel. Lully turns pomp into score and Charpentier responds with fire. Purcell returns his voice to England after years of silence, and Pachelbel‘s Canon is repeated and repeated. Some hemorrhoids become an anthem: the Baroque becomes power, and power… spectacle.
