Here, after performing many menial duties, he attracted the notice of influential personages who secured his admission to "la grande bande" (the King's private orchestra). Was made the head of this "corps of 24 violins," 1652; he organized a second band of 16—"les petits violons"—which became under his direction the finest orchestra in France. Apptd. Court Composer, 1653; wrote masques, &c., in which Louis XIV took part. The King preferred Lully's music to all other, and in 1672 granted him letters patent for an "Académie royale de musique"—now the Grand Opéra. "From this time dates Lully's real fame as the creator of French opera." He moulded the overture, wrote his music to suit the genius of the French language, improved the orchestra and the scenic arrangements, and introduced dramatic effects previously unknown.
66Of his numerous operas, which kept the stage for nearly a century, Armide et Renaud (1686) is perhaps the best. He also wrote ballets, symphonies, church music, &c.
