François Couperin regarded Jean-Baptiste Lully as one of his teacher-predecessors, alongside Arcangelo Corelli.
Couperin paid tribute to Lully in a multi-movement instrumental concert titled “Concert instrumental sous le titre d'apothose compos a la mmoire immortelle de l'incomporable Monsieur de Lully” (“Apotheosis of Lully”), composed in 1725.
