LE LYS QUADRILLES. English(?), Quadrille Set. The six-figure "Le Lys Quadrilles" were entered into the large 19th century music manuscript collection[1] of prosperous dairy farmer, miller, sometime printer and bookbinder, and fiddler James Barry (1819-1906) of Six Mile Brook, Pictou County, northern Nova Scotia. They are of unknown origin at this time.
Le Lys (The Lily), also known as Liliya, was a three-act ballet with music by Ludwig Minkus and LĂ©o Delibes, first performed by the Imperial Ballet in November, 1869, at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Minkus reused and adapted much of the music he had composed for Saint-LĂ©on's La Source (1866). Whether the quadrille sets adapted any of Minkus and Delibes music for dancing is unknown at this time.
