EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover showcases the lively and humorous scene from Charles Godfrey's Chilperic Quadrille, based on airs from Herve's popular operetta of the same name. The operetta, Chilperic, was first performed in Paris in 1868 and later graced the stage at the Lyceum Theatre in London in 1870. The heroic image of King Chilperic I, a Merovingian monarch who ruled from 561 to 584, is depicted on horseback, proudly leading two ladies in short skirts. The crowd of people in the background adds to the comic and lively atmosphere of the scene. Among the various figures in the image, there is a man suffering from a bad cold, a butterfly collector, and two druids. The king's regal demeanor contrasts with the light-hearted and humorous elements of the scene, making for an intriguing juxtaposition. The operetta, which was known for its burlesque style and historical inaccuracies, was a popular form of entertainment in the 1870s. The cover art for the Chilperic Quadrille, published by Metzler & Ronger in 1872, captures the essence of the operetta's blend of history, comedy, and music. The ladies in their short skirts and the lively dance steps depicted in the quadrille add to the overall sense of merriment and joy. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Herve's Chilperic and the power of music and dance to transport us to another time and place.
