It was premiered on 6th October 1600 as part of the wedding celebrations in honour of Henry IV, King of France and Maria Medici. Apparently according to the preface by Peri in the publication of the score in 1601, Caccini composed some of the music.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45268955299999,"sku":"6592","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Peri_Euridice_first_ed_1.jpg?v=1721143747"},{"product_id":"74-folk-music-fuller-sisters-a-set-of-six-folksong-and-ballads-decorated-by-cynthia-fuller","title":"[Folk Music] Fuller Sisters.
