As director of the Académie Royale de Musique, Jean-Baptiste Lully determined what music would be played at the Académie - particularly his own. Lully's death in 1687 meant that he no longer directedly put his mark on the programming, but his influence was still clearly visible in the structure of works by the new generation of composers. Only Jean-Philippe Rameau's new harmonies and his 'shocking' debut opera Hippolyte et Aricie (1733) finally ushered in the end of the Lully era. Music from the period between Lully and Rameau is often incomplete: scores consist only of the bass line and the melody, with the internal voices omitted. In order to restore this music to its full glory, Le Concert d'Apollon has reconstructed the internal voices to the orchestral movements from operas from the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth century.
