Lully was born at Florence, on 28 November 1632 and died in Paris, on 22 March 1687.
Lully obtained release from her service and on the death of his friend Lazzarini, in 1653, was appointed Louis XIV's compositeur de la musique instrumentale.
A cabal attempted to dislodge Quinault in 1674, and the poet was banished from 1677 until 1680 for an ungracious portrayal of the king's mistress, Mme.
Lully himself was the target both of attacks by La Fontaine and Boileau and of criticism in the Mercure galant and was involved in legal proceedings in 1675-77 over an alleged murder conspiracy led by Guichard.
Lully's pupils included Pelham Humfrey, Georg Muffat, J. Kusser, and J. Fischer, who carried the French orchestral style to England, Germany, and the rest of Europe.
