The "Ballet de la Merlaison" is a ballet de cour first performed in 1635 at the Château de Chantilly, during the reign of Louis XIII. It is the most popular ballet performed during the reign of Louis XIII, which marked an important development of the Ballet de cour. The music of the ballet is considered to be written with the participation of Louis XIII. While some claim he had written only a few airs (see: Catherine Cressac, 'L'Orchestre de Louis XIII'), most experts consider the entire ballet to be written by Louis XIII (see:: A. Lloyd Moote, 'Louis XIII, the Just'). One thing we know for sure is that Louis XIII made up the story, the choreography and danced himself in the ballet. The music is very typical for the era of Louis XIII, yet it is very interesting for modern musicologists, since it is crucial for the understanding of development from Late Renaissance to Early and High Baroque music
Thanks! Hello from Russia. We love Baroque music and remember Louis XIII - the king of France and the character of the popular novel "The Three Musketeers".
J'ai connu personnellement Roger Cotte et je ne savais pas qu'il avait réalisé un enregistrement sur la musique de Louis XIII. C'est une belle découverte. J'aimerai avoir ce CD.
Elegant an arrangement of the days of yore, despite those days' shortcomings, the muses danced and sang across the regal landscape of hours in the sun.

D’Artagnan probably listened to this music.
Обожаю подобную музыку, спасибо держателю канала - порадовал❤❤❤
Wonderful music ! I think it's a old record of 1967, because I don't found another newer.
Congratulations for your posting!
At last; a piece of baroque music I haven't heard yet. Thank you thank you thank you.
On se croirait à un bal de la cour royal de Louis XIII musique magnifique
Yes, thank you very much!
Happy new year!
Magnifique cette musique n'est-ce pas?
Trésors du premier baroque français, qui demeure encore trop confidentiel ! Une pensée pour ce grand roi que fut Louis XIII injustement traité....
On entend encore une influence de la renaissance passé
jaime bien louis 13 , mais le plus grand roi de France restera , pour ma part ,hihi, louis 11 dit l'araignée !!
That's only one old recording of this.
Louis XIII is supposed to have composed this.
А есть такое же, но вторая часть?
