  • Songs in Fixed Forms
    Songs in Fixed Forms by Margaret P. Hasselman 1 Introduction Fourteenth century France saw the development of several well-defined song structures. In contrast to the earlier troubadours and trouveres, the 14th-century songwriters established standardized patterns drawn from dance forms. These patterns then set up definite expectations in the listeners. The three forms which became standard, which are known today by the French term "formes fixes" (fixed forms), were the virelai, ballade and rondeau, although those terms were rarely used in that sense before the middle of the 14th century. (An older fixed form, the lai, was used in the Roman de Fauvel (c. 1316), and during the rest of the century primarily by Guillaume de Machaut.) All three forms make use of certain basic structural principles: repetition and contrast of music; correspondence of music with poetic form (syllable count and rhyme); couplets, in which two similar phrases or sections end differently, with the second ending more final or "closed" than the first; and refrains, where repetition of both words and music create an emphatic reference point. Contents • Definitions • Historical Context • Character and Provenance, with reference to specific examples • Notes and Selected Bibliography Definitions The three structures can be summarized using the conventional letters of the alphabet for repeated sections. Upper-case letters indicate that both text and music are identical. Lower-case letters indicate that a section of music is repeated with different words, which necessarily follow the same poetic form and rhyme-scheme. 1. Virelai The virelai consists of a refrain; a contrasting verse section, beginning with a couplet (two halves with open and closed endings), and continuing with a section which uses the music and the poetic form of the refrain; and finally a reiteration of the refrain.

    The Romantic Era 1820-1900 1 Historical Themes Science Nationalism Art 2 Science Increased role of science in defining how people saw life Charles Darwin-The Origin of the Species Freud 3 Nationalism Rise of European nationalism Napoleonic ideas created patriotic fervor Many revolutions and attempts at revolutions. Many areas of Europe (especially Italy and Central Europe) struggled to free themselves from foreign control 4 Art Art came to be appreciated for its aesthetic worth Program-music that serves an extra-musical purpose Absolute-music for the sake and beauty of the music itself 5 Musical Context Increased interest in nature and the supernatural The natural world was considered a source of mysterious powers. Romantic composers gravitated toward supernatural texts and stories 6 Listening #1 Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique (4th mvmt) Pg 323-325 CD 5/30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwCuFaq2L3U 7 The Rise of Program Music Music began to be used to tell stories, or to imply meaning beyond the purely musical. Composers found ways to make their musical ideas represent people, things, and dramatic situations as well as emotional states and even philosophical ideas. 8 Art Forms Close relationship Literature among all the art Shakespeare forms Poe Bronte Composers drew Drama inspiration from other Schiller fine arts Hugo Art Goya Constable Delacroix 9 Nationalism and Exoticism Composers used music as a tool for highlighting national identity. Instrumental composers (such as Bedrich Smetana) made reference to folk music and national images Operatic composers (such as Giuseppe Verdi) set stories with strong patriotic undercurrents. Composers took an interest in the music of various ethnic groups and incorporated it into their own music.

CATALANE PIERRE TALRICH Jean-Pierre-François Talrich naquit à Serralongue (Pyr.- Or.) le 16 janvier 1810. Fils de Pierre Talrich, docteur en chirurgie, et de Thérèse Durand, il fut baptisé le 22 janvier en l'église de Serralongue et eut comme marraine Marie- Rose Trescases. Le 20 mars 1813. l'enfant perdait sa mère alors qu'il était déjà orphelin de père. Le docteur Talrich, lors d'une épi• démie de typhus, descendit de Serralongue pour aider ses confrères de Céret, fut atteint par le fléau et mourut victime de son devoir. L'orphelin fut mis au collège de Perpignan, mais le petit montagnard, ignorant de ce qu'il pourrait trouver dans la grand'ville inconnue, prit soin, en partant, d'emporter son livre d'école sous son bras. Au lycée, un épisode de son enfance révèle déjà sa naturelle générosité d'âme et son enthousiasme pour les nobles causes. En 1824, âgé de quatorze ans, il s'évada avec quelques camarades ayant formé le projet très simple de partir au secours des Grecs. Malheureusement, l'un de ces jeunes émules de Lord Byron avait eu une préoccupation vraiment trop bourgeoise et qui devait lui être fatale : il avait laissé sous son oreiller son testament olographe par lequel il - 34 - déshéritait, en bonne et due forme, son neveu qui lui avait, quelques jours auparavant, administré une très irrespec• tueuse raclée.
