Question: Armide is an opera by a composer born in which year ?

<P0-S0> Gluck set the same libretto Philippe Quinault had written for Lully in 1686, based on Torquato Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"). <P0-S1>  Gluck seemed at ease in facing French traditions head-on when he composed "Armide". <P0-S2>  Lully and Quinault were the very founders of serious opera in France and "Armide" was generally recognized as their masterpiece, so it was a bold move on Gluck's part to write new music to Quinault's words. <P0-S3>  A similar attempt to write a new opera to the libretto of "Thésée" by Jean Joseph de Mondonville in 1765 had ended in disaster, with audiences demanding it be replaced by Lully's original. <P0-S4>  By utilizing "Armide", Gluck challenged the long-standing and apparently inviolable ideals of French practice, and in the process he revealed these values capable of renewal through "modern" compositional sensitivities. <P0-S5>  Critical response and resultant polemic resulted in one of those grand imbroglios common to French intellectual life. <P0-S6>  Gluck struck a nerve in French sensitivities, and whereas "Armide" was not one of his more popular works, it remained a critical touchstone in the French operatic tradition and was warmly praised by Berlioz in his "Memoirs". <P0-S7>  Gluck also set a minor fashion for resetting Lully/Quinault operas: Gluck's rival Piccinni followed his example with "Roland" in 1778 and "Atys" in 1780; in the same year, Philidor produced a new "Persée"; and Gossec offered his version of "Thésée" in 1782. <P0-S8>  Gluck himself is said to have been working on an opera based on "Roland", but he abandoned it when he heard Piccinni had taken on the same libretto. <SEP> <P1-S0> Armide is an opera by Jean-Baptiste Lully. <P1-S1>  The libretto by Philippe Quinault is based on Torquato Tasso's poem "La Gerusalemme liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"). <P1-S2>  The work is in the form of a tragédie en musique, a genre invented by Lully and Quinault. <SEP> <P2-S0> Amadis de Gaule, or Amadis des Gaules ("Amadis of Gaul"), is a French opera in three acts by the German composer Johann Christian Bach. <P2-S1>  The libretto is a revision by Alphonse de Vismes of "Amadis" by Philippe Quinault, originally set by Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1684, which in turn, was based on the knight-errantry romance "Amadis de Gaula" (1508). <P2-S2>  Bach's opera was first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique, Paris on 14 December 1779. <P2-S3>  It followed the contemporary French fashion for resetting libretti by Quinault ("Armide" by Gluck and "Roland" by Piccinni are other examples of this trend). <P2-S4>  The work was not a success with the Parisian public, mainly because it pleased neither the supporters of Gluck nor those of Piccinni, the two leading rival opera composers in France at the time. <P2-S5>  It was the last opera J. C. Bach composed. <SEP> <P3-S0> Jean-Baptiste Lully (] ; born Giovanni Battista Lulli ] ; 28 November 1632 – 22 March 1687) was an Italian-born French composer, instrumentalist, and dancer who spent most of his life working in the court of Louis XIV of France. <P3-S1>  He is considered a master of the French baroque style. <P3-S2>  Lully disavowed any Italian influence in French music of the period. <P3-S3>  He became a French subject in 1661.
