Les élémens
''Les élémens'' (''The Elements''), or ''Ballet des élémens'', is an opéra-ballet by the French composers André Cardinal Destouches and Michel Richard Delalande (or de Lalande). It has a prologue and four ''entrées''. The libretto was written by Pierre-Charles Roy. ==Composition==
Destouches was responsible for most of the music. It has never been ascertained how much each composer contributed to the composition. In a 1726 letter, Destouches wrote to Antonio I, Prince of Monaco: "We were ordered to work in partnership; he () wrote very fine things whose details I implore you to spare me, for he demanded of me that we should be covered by the same cloak".〔Brenac (2010). "On nous ordonna de travailler ensemble ; il ''(Delalande)'' y a fait de très-belles choses du détail desquelles je vous supplie de me dispenser, parce qu'il a exigé de moi que nous fussions couverts du même manteau." 〕 Delalande probably wrote the overture, much of the prologue and some parts of the first ''entrée''. Jean Balon provided the choreography.〔Coeyman (1997).〕 ''Les élémens'' has the typical structure of the ''opéra-ballet'': its four ''entrées'' are musically and dramatically independent, but topically related to one another.〔 Its subject matter, however – gods, heroes and ancient Romans – relates it more to the special type of ''opéra-ballet'' called "''ballet-héroïque''".〔Bartlet (1997).〕
