The History of Music of the Baroque period is frequently studied, isolating it from politics, state marriages, dynastic wars, religión, etc. In a globalized world like today's, the cultural-musical developments, both of composition, interpretation and dissemination, are totally different from the problem of these same factors in the seventeenth century. In this article, we propose a hypothesis that relates cause and effect to the decisions of Cardinal Mazarin with one of the great English works, Dido and Aeneas, by Henry Purcell, especially in a very specific aspect, his Dance Gittars Chacony. Throughout this trip there are several protagonists, to a greater or lesser extent, apart from those already mentioned: Louis XIV, Charles II of England, Francesco Corbetta and Oliver Cromwell. We will see at the end if the connection is, in fact, impossible.
