France, 1615: Louis XIII marries Anne of Austria, Infanta of Spain. The new queen arrives at the French court accompanied by her Spanish courtiers; French composers are inspired by the Spanish vogue and write 'Airs de cour' in this new language. Spain, 1701: Philip V marries a young princess of French descent, Maria Luisa Gabriella of Savoy. The Queen's music master is none other than Santiago de Murcia, who - like Gaspar Sanz - tries his hand at pieces in French style in homage to his queen.
