Jean Baptiste de Lulli (or Lully) was the celebrated composer
(1633-1687) for whose music Louis XIV. had a great predilection. For
him the King created a new company of musicians called _Les Petits
Violons_ or _La Bande des Seize_. Lulli composed also the incidental
music for Molière's plays. The portraits of Lulli, says a contemporary,
are fairly like him, but he was smaller and stouter than they show.
