Berlioz was bored because the other V guests were playing cards. He began idly to sketch out a brief organ composition. His friend Pierre Due. architect of the Bastille Column, dissuaded him from continuing thi Andantino, however, and turned him to composing something for a souvenir album. The resulting mu ic. thus idly begun ~ shortly became a chorus in which a group of shepherds bids farewell to the Holy Family leaving for the fli ght into Egypt. The text was by Berlioz himself. As a joke of which Due shared the knowledge, Berlioz next invented a seventeenth· century chapel-master named Pierre Ducre, "dated" the "Adieu des Bergers" 1679, and gave out that it was Ducre's work. Within one year Berlioz had added to the "Adieu" a brief orchestral overture, an in­ strumental interlude entitled "Le Repos de la Sainte Famille," a tenor recitative describing the Holy Family's rest by the wayside, and a very short final chorus of angels chanting " Alleluia." To the entire brief cantata he gave the title "La Fuite en Egypte," allowing it to be performed on November 17, 1850, as the work of " Ducre." Although Berlioz knew that a listener would have to be as "ignorant as a fish" to believe that any seventeenth-century composer could have produced a work so clearly modern in harmony, most Parisian critics swallowed the hoax.

  • Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
    Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Ballet is often perceived as a danced fairy tale and, therefore, considered to be like the fairy tale. In this research, the literary form of the fairy tale is compared with the narrative of the ballet fantastique in two acts. The analytical method of Vladimir Propp’s Morphologie des Màrchens (1975) serves as starting point for an investigation into storytelling and the narrative of the ballet scenario. Until now, narrative analyses have been overlooked by dance analysis. Therefore, the task of this study is to propose the first dramaturgy of the ballet fantastique and, thus, a first independent model of narrative analysis for dance.

  • Sir Hervé the Knight Errant Sets out to Conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens
    Pascal BLANCHET, « Sir Hervé the Kniht Errant sets out to conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens » Octobre 2015 Sir Hervé the Knight Errant sets out to conquer the Bouffes-Parisiens Pascal BLANCHET ‘It is one of my best scores, but the public doesn’t always crown the best things with success . .’ Such is the humble view expressed by Hervé in his Notes pour servir à l’histoire de l’opérette, a memoir he wrote in 1881 for the dramatic critic Francisque Sarcey. In the course of a long career marked by dazzling successes and resounding flops, the composer had had many opportunities to cultivate a philosophical frame of mind. The above quotation concerns his opéra-bouffe Alice de Nevers, but he might have said the same of Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde: Alice was a complete fiasco at its premiere in 1875, Les Chevaliers received a lukewarm reception when it was first given in 1866. In both cases, we are dealing with works that deserve to be reassessed – Hervé was right! Yes, these valiant Chevaliers who return today from a long exile are worthy of enjoying a rebirth. For the work is a more important one than it may at first seem. Why? Because it constitutes a turning point, not only in Hervé’s career but in the history of operetta: with it, the so-called ‘Crazy Composer’ (le Compositeur toqué), who is regarded as the father of operetta, wrote his first full-scale opéra-bouffe in three acts, and he intended it for the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, the stronghold of his rival Jacques Offenbach.

JACQUES OFFENBACH : HIS CENTENARY By MARTIAL TENEO O N June the 20th, 1819, at Cologne, in the Glockengasse (now only a memory), was born Jacques Offenbach,whose renown, forty years later, was to overspreadthe world. To rehabilitate such an artist, still held in contempt at the present day by our musical "scientists," to restore him to his rightful place on the occasion of the centennial of his birth, is a task worthy of an unbiassed historian.
