    2. FRENCH BAROQUE SACRED CHORAL MUSIC 1643-1774 By Jason Allen Anderson 1) Historical Context a) Spanned the reigns of four Bourbon kings and three regents b) Restrict our study to the last two regents and kings i) Anne of Austria, Regent for Louis XIV (1643-1651) ii) Louis XIV ‘Le Roi Soleil’ (1643-1715) iii) Philippe d’Orléans, Regent for Louis XV (1715-1723) iv) Louis XV (1715-1774) 2) Hallmarks of the French Baroque Musical Style a) Galant “ornamented with many small figures and passages” (Grove Online) b) Rococo “A term from decorative art that has been applied by analogy to music, especially French music, of the 18th century” (Grove Online) i) Originated in France during the last years of the 17th century ii) Born of a relaxation of the rules of French classicism iii) Derivation of the term (rocaille, ‘shellwork’) is post facto and pejorative, like most critical descriptions of the style c) Slow to adopt Italian innovations, such as oratorio, basso continuo, the recitative, the formal aria, and the concertato d) Church music in France is very different from church music elsewhere on the continent (Palisca 265). i) Causes of reluctance to adopt above innovations include: (1) Control of the monarch (often at the insistence of Lully) on all matters related to music, art, architecture, dance—in essence all the fine and performing arts in an attempt to cultivate a French national style; consequently, (2) Musicians from other parts of Europe rarely found employment in the musical establishments of both court and church in France; thus, the other national styles were unable to penetrate those establishments through foreigners.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC0052 Notes
    RAMEAU ON THE PIANO, VOLUME THREE 1 by Graham Sadler The two suites recorded on this disc are from the Nouvelles suites de pièces de clavecin of 1729 or 1730, Rameau’s final collection of solo keyboard music.2 Like those of his Pièces de clavessin (1724), they are contrasted both in tonality and character. The Suite in A minor and major is dominated by dances and includes only three character pieces, whereas the Suite in G major and minor consists almost exclusively of pieces with character titles. In its make-up if not its style, the latter thus follows the example of François Couperin, whose first three books of pièces de clavecin (1713, 1717 and 1722) had established the vogue for descriptive pieces. In that sense, Rameau may be regarded as somewhat conservative in devoting half of his two mature solo collections to suites of the more traditional type. Suite No. 4 in A minor and major Conservative they may be, but the dance movements of the Nouvelles suites are among the most highly P developed in the repertory, the first two particularly so. The Allemande 1 unfolds with an effortless grace, its unerring sense of direction reinforced by the many sequential passages. At the end of both sections, the duple semiquaver motion gives way unexpectedly to triplet motion, providing a memorable ‘rhyme’ to the two parts of the movement. The Courante 2, more than twice as long as its predecessors in Rameau’s output, displays a technical sophistication without parallel in the clavecin repertory. Three themes interlock in mainly three- part counterpoint – a bold motif in rising fourths, and two accompanying figures in continuous quavers, the one in sinuous stepwise movement, the other comprising cascading arpeggios.

  • Les Talens Lyriques the Ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, Which Takes Its
    Les Talens Lyriques The ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, which takes its name from the subtitle of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera Les Fêtes d’Hébé (1739), was formed in 1991 by the harpsichordist and conductor Christophe Rousset. Championing a broad vocal and instrumental repertoire, ranging from early Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism, the musicians of Les Talens Lyriques aim to throw light on the great masterpieces of musical history, while providing perspective by presenting rarer or little known works that are important as missing links in the European musical heritage. This musicological and editorial work, which contributes to its renown, is a priority for the ensemble. Les Talens Lyriques perform to date works by Monteverdi (L'Incoronazione di Poppea, Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in patria, L’Orfeo), Cavalli (La Didone, La Calisto), Landi (La Morte d'Orfeo), Handel (Scipione, Riccardo Primo, Rinaldo, Admeto, Giulio Cesare, Serse, Arianna in Creta, Tamerlano, Ariodante, Semele, Alcina), Lully (Persée, Roland, Bellérophon, Phaéton, Amadis, Armide, Alceste), Desmarest (Vénus et Adonis), Mondonville (Les Fêtes de Paphos), Cimarosa (Il Mercato di Malmantile, Il Matrimonio segreto), Traetta (Antigona, Ippolito ed Aricia), Jommelli (Armida abbandonata), Martin y Soler (La Capricciosa corretta, Il Tutore burlato), Mozart (Mitridate, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte), Salieri (La Grotta di Trofonio, Les Danaïdes, Les Horaces, Tarare), Rameau (Zoroastre, Castor et Pollux, Les Indes galantes, Platée, Pygmalion), Gluck

Fortunately I am rarely overheard as I endlessly repeat words and phrases, trying to find the music in them: the exact pitches and rhythms needed to portray a particular emotion often take me an exasperatingly long time to find. One of the things that I love most about writing songs is that I feel I truly get to know and understand the poetry I am setting. The music, as I write it, allows me to feel as if I am inhabiting the character in the poem, and I often only discover what the poem really says to me when I reach the final bar.
