..funny, I was reading about Rameau's H&A only a couple of weeks ago...
BTW, I found and bought (not cheap, but worth the money) a wonderful
DICTIONNAIRE DE LA MUSIQUE EN FRANCE AUX XVIIe ET XVIIIe SIÈCLES, Ed.
M. Benoit (Fayard, 1992).
800+ pages full of information.

Try 'Hippolyte et Aricie' by Bernier (1664 - 1734). I don't have a
score but the date and country seem abour right....
I also recall one of Cavalli's operas has the character but can't
remember which!

Does anyone know if there is/was an earlier version of
"Hippolyte et
Aricie" i.e. before Rameau's opera with this title? Either as
an
opera or ballet?
The large French ms. of baroque guitar music F:PnMs.Res.F844
includes a
piece on p.263 with the title "Entree dAricie".
Curiously this seems to be the same as the piece in the Princess
Anne
book with the title "Doritye".
It can't be by Rameau because the manuscript is earlier.
