The Court of the Sun King Dawn pulled a superb chariot bringing the most beautiful Sun that one had ever seen, which dissipated the clouds and then promised the most beautiful and greatest Day of the World.
Thus in 1653 did the Court Ballet symbolise the advent of a new monarch, Louis XIV of France. From 1661 till his death in 1715 he was to rule over a court of unrivalled splendour. LuHy. arr Philidor
