He began his career in Italy before moving to France in the 1650s, where he quickly became a favorite of King Louis XIV, who made him director of the Royal Music Academy in 1661. Lully is known for his contributions to French opera, which he transformed into a grand spectacle, complete with elaborate sets, costumes, and dancing. He composed over 20 operas, including Armide, Atys, and Persée. Lully also wrote a significant amount of religious music, including grand motets and church music, which showcase his mastery of the choral form. He died in 1687 after contracting gangrene from hitting his foot with a conducting staff during a performance of one of his own works.
