Lully was one of the most prominent and prolific French Baroque composers alongside Rameau and Couperin. Born in Florence in 1632, he went to Paris at the age of fourteen (it's a slightly convoluted story, which I shan't go into here) and in 1653 entered the service of Louis XIV as royal composer for instrumental music and later director of Les Petits Violons. He died in 1687.
Armide is a tragic opera to a libretto by Philippe Quinault composed in 1686. Here’s a brief synopsis. During the First Crusade, Armide ensnares her enemy the Christian knight Renaud with her magic spells. At the moment she raises her dagger to kill him, she finds herself falling in love with him. She casts a spell to make him love her in return. Upon returning to her castle, she cannot bear that Renaud's love is only the work of enchantment. She calls on the Goddess of Hate to restore her hatred for Renaud, but fails to escape from her feelings of love for him. The Goddess condemns Armide to eternal love. Before Armide can return to Renaud, two of his fellow soldiers reach Renaud and break Armide's spell. Renaud manages to escape from Armide, who is left enraged, despairing, and hopeless.
This Passacaglia is from Act Five. A passacaglia is a dance in triple time and, depending on what area of which country you are in, is either fast (Spain) or slow and elegant (Parisian court). It was a very well-known number from the opera and is thought to have inspired the movement of that name in Purcell’s King Arthur, which was composed only a few years later. This arrangement is by Jonathan Scott and is organistic rather than merely a straight transcription of the notes.
