Piece from the movie: Le Roi Danse (The King is Dancing)
Some Info:
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687)
Italian-born composer (French nationality from 1681). Entered service of Louis XIV 1653, composed instrumental music for the court ballets. From 1664 collaborated with Molière in series of comedy-ballets which were forerunners of French opera, the last and most famous being Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, in which Lully danced role of the Mufti.
Having assimilated both Italian and French styles and tastes, from 1673 he turned to opera composition and obtained from the King exclusive rights to arrange operatic performances in Paris.
His death was caused by a gangrenous abscess which formed in his foot after he struck it with the long staff he used for beating time on the floor while conducting a Te Deum to celebrate Louis XIV's recovery from illness.

Recorded 1965 with Georg Szell and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOT the LSO as the video gives).
Interesting that a couple of years ago Renee Fleming picked this recording as one of her 8 "Desert Island Discs".

Franz Schubert,
Mio ben ricordati, D 688/4
Art Song/Lied
Italian Text by Pietro Metastasio
Mio ben ricordati,
S'avvien, ch'io mora:
Quanto quest'anima
Fedel t'amò.
E se pur amano
Le fredde ceneri:
Nell'urna ancora
T'adorerò
English Translation:
Remember, my beloved,
if I should die,
how much my faithful heart
loved you
And if cold ashes
are capable of love,
then in the grave
I shall still adore you
