A Baroque Rebellion! Publ.Doc P2.Pages Caractères de la Dance ~ A Baroque Rebellion! ! The London Handel Players, world renowned from Wigmore Hall to Carnegie Hall, have teamed up with charismatic baroque dancers Mary Collins and Steven Player in a ground-breaking presentation of the craze for dancing which swept from Versailles across Europe and beyond in the !age of Louis XIV. Performed in the costumes of the nobility, the country folk and the mischievous rogue jester, Harlequin, original choreographies of courtly and theatrical dances are, quite literally lifted off the !page, capturing the full-bloodied character of an encyclopaedic range of musical expression. A revelation to audiences today, new but historically-based renditions are created for Bach’s B minor Suite and Rebel’s Caractères de la Dance, introduced in an informative and engaging way. Audiences young and old, specialist and novice, are transported by the sheer exuberance of this very !visual production and the striking musical effects as dancers and musicians become one ensemble. !“It has made me think again about all the music I thought I knew…” Audience member, East Cork Early Music Festival, 2015 Dancer Mary Collins, flautist Rachel Brown and violinist Adrian Butterfield met, initially, teaching at the Aestas Musica International Summer School of Baroque Music and Dance in Croatia and this immensely fruitful partnership sparked a thirst for greater understanding of one another’s !specialisms, and so began our research! So much baroque music is dance based, making this insight all the more crucial. So life-changing has this proved for us, and so influential in all aspects of our performing and teaching that we are !excited to share the true magic of this repertoire as it was envisaged by its creators. Alongside our staged performances we offer illuminating talks, and inspirational masterclasses and workshops for musicians, dancers and interested members of the public (so many of whom, with infectious enthusiasm, want to get up and dance themselves) to promote an understanding of the special relationship between these two inextricably linked art forms and its far-reaching effect on the !performance of baroque music.

These workshops may be tailored to relevant core repertoire or individual solo/chamber music (eg. Bach Partitas and Orchestral Suites, Couperin Concerts Royaux and dance suites by Lully, Purcell, Handel and Rameau, etc). Through study of some simple dance notation and typical musical examples, students discover how the effect of dancing themselves to their chosen pieces, or accompanying an expert dancer, is often transformational in terms of their grasp of tempo, !phrasing, style and character. We regularly work with players of modern or historical instruments, and encourage experimentation with bowing, articulation, phrasing, ornamentation, etc. We offer dance workshops, masterclasses, invaluable instrumental coaching and

  • Concerts of February 20 and 21, 2015 Notes on the Program by Ken
    Concerts of February 20 and 21, 2015 Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer Overture to Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), K. 486 (1786) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, and died in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1791. The first performance The Impresario took place at the Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, on February 7, 1786. The Overture to Impresario is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. Approximate performance time is five minutes. 1786 was incredibly productive for Mozart, even by his lofty standards. During that year, Mozart completed his opera buffa masterpiece, Le nozze di Figaro, the singspiel, Der Schauspieldirektor, and a revision of his earlier opera seria, Idomeneo. Mozart also composed several chamber pieces, solo vocal works, his Fourth Horn Concerto, K. 495, and three Piano Concertos—No. 23 in A Major, K. 488, No. 24 in C minor, K. 491, and No. 25 in C Major, K. 503. Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), alternating spoken dialogue and sung music, tells the story of an impresario’s struggles to control the egos of two operatic divas. With its humorous depiction of operatic backstage intrigue, The Impresario is a predecessor to Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos (see, below). While The Impresario is rarely performed as a complete work, its vibrant Overture has long enjoyed a favored place in the concert hall. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (Der Bürger aus Edelmann), Suite, Opus 60 (1918) Richard Strauss was born in Munich, Germany, on June 11, 1864, and died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on September 8, 1949.

  • Masks, Costumes, Ceremony Life in Seventeenth Century France
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1986 Volume III: Topics in Western Civilization: Ideals of Community and the Development ofUrban Life, 1250-1700 Masks, Costumes, Ceremony Life In Seventeenth Century France Curriculum Unit 86.03.02 by Harriet J. Bauman Rich in culture, literature, and the arts, France’s Seventeenth Century remains vibrantly alive today in its records. During this time, Corneille, Racine, MoliEre, La Fontaine, Pascal and Descartes were writing; Poussin, Le Vau and Le Brun were painting; and Mansard was building Versailles. One literary work in particular lends itself to a study of this century. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ( The WouldBe Gentleman ) by MoliEre forms the basis of this unit focusing on the “rise” of the bourgeoisie and the “fall” of the nobility, which started in the early 1600’s and ended in the late 1700’s with the French Revolution. As social class distinctions began to change, these changes were reflected in literature and art. The rise of the bourgeoisie, buttressed by the manipulations of Louis XIV, had a political and social impact on the times. “As the bourgeoisie developed, and especially as it tried to buttress its improving economic status with political gains, class distinctions became the explicit subject of ideological, literary, legal, and social debates. Economic factors, and more or less deliberate government policies, contributed significantly to changes in both facts and perceptions about the social classes.” (“The Issues of Nobility and Identity in Dom Juan and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ”, Larry W. Riggs The French Review Vol. LIX No. 3, Feb., 1986, p.

"Molière, complying with the demands of Louis XIV of France, presented in 1670 a remarkable parody on Turkish customs and language. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme has brought the plaudits of critics and audiences alike since that time. The lp ay or piece is composed of three acts of character comedy in the folly on Monsieur Jourdain, and two of exaggeration and parody in the events leading up to and the Turkish ceremony. The action develops through a series of episodes rather than a well knit, unified intrigue. Superimposed on the satire on society is a whole-hearted humor prompted by the ignorance and credulity of the central figure, Jourdain, a tradesman who wishes to become a gentleman.

  • The King's Men: Molière and Lully's Comédies-Ballets
    THE KING’S MEN: MOLIÈRE AND LULLY’S COMÉDIES-BALLETS AND THE POLITICS OF PATRONAGE DURING THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV, 1661-1673 by Serena Frechter A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Baltimore, Maryland April, 2018 Abstract This paper examines Louis XIV’s patronage of the arts as a tool to consolidate his absolutist rule through a close study of his patron-client relationship with Jean-Baptiste Pouqelin, more commonly known as Molière, and Jean-Baptiste Lully, and the comédies-ballets the pair produced during the first decade of Louis’ personal rule. By first establishing Louis’ development of an absolutist order through relation-based systems, such venal offices and the intendant system, I show how Louis created and expanded parallel systems of control in the arts, through Académies, patronage, and privileges. I then consider how Louis further used performative rituals and physical representations of his power to reinforce this absolutist agenda. It was in this environment in which the arts were integrated as a critical aspect of Louis’ quest for political control that the comédie-ballet developed. Focusing specifically on two of Molière and Lully’s comedies-ballets, Les Fâcheux and Le Bourgeouis Gentilhomme, this paper proceeds to demonstrate how both the production and the performance of the comédies-ballets served the Sun King’s wider political goals. The artists benefitted from their relationship with the King through patronage and privileges; in return they created these comédies-ballets. By examining the evolution of Louis’ patronage of Molière and Lully beyond the initial comédies-ballets, I demonstrate how Lully adapted to Louis’ shifting political visions and gained enormous power as a result, while Molière deviated from the changing absolutist agenda and thus remained only modestly powerful.

  • Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
    Préhistoire Moyen Age Temps Modernes XIXème XXème siècle et siècle et notre époque Antiquité Mus. École Ars Renaissance Baroque Classicisme Romantisme Moderne Contemporaine Grégo- Notre Nova rienne Dame Jean-Baptiste LULLY Lully naquit à Florence, en Italie, dans une famille d'humbles meuniers. Très tôt, il 1632-1687 manifesta des dons pour la musique et le chant. Il se produisit sur les places publiques lors de fêtes de carnaval; il y fut remarqué par un envoyé du roi chargé de ramener en France un florentin pour donner des cours d'italien à une jeune duchesse. Dès lors, sa vie fut transformée, il fréquenta les milieux bourgeois, continua ses études de musique et entra au service du roi comme danseur et violoniste. Peu à peu, il connut la fortune et la gloire. Lully domina toute la vie musicale en France à l'époque du Roi Soleil. Son influence sur la musique européenne de l'époque fut grande. La cause de sa mort fut particulière puisqu'elle intervint à la suite d'une répétition du Te Compositeur français Deum qu'il devait faire jouer pour la guérison du roi. N'arrivant pas à obtenir ce qu'il voulait des musiciens, Lully, d'un tempérament explosif, s'emporta et se frappa violemment un orteil avec son « bâton de direction », longue et lourde canne surmontée de rubans et d'un pommeau richement orné, servant à l'époque pour battre la mesure en frappant le sol. La blessure s'infecta et malgré une amputation , la gangrène se propagea au reste du corps et infecta en grande partie son cerveau Lully mourut quelque temps plus tard à Paris, le 22 mars 1687.
