Holding the Road
A sad reflection of the current state of American publishing is that Reuel Wilson had to publish privately the autobiography under review. And yet no book could be further away from a vanity public
The Genesis, Transformations, Sources, and Style of Gounod’s Faust
Beginning with Charles Gounod’s lifelong interest in Goethe’s Faust , this chapter explores the genesis of the composer’s collaboration with his librettists Jules Barbier and Michel Carré and the circumstances leading to the opera Faust ’s 1859 premiere at the Théâtre-Lyrique. It discusses the opera’s transformation from a semi-character opéra-comique-type work with spoken dialogue to a full-fledged through-composed opera, with various additions …
Antiquité en musique
Cette contribution examine, dans une perspective comparatiste, les apports de trois grands compositeurs français du dix-neuvième siècle au retour à l’Antiquité grecque comme source d’inspiration théâtrale : Ulysse de Gounod (1852), musique de scène pour la tragédie néoclassique de François Ponsard, montée par la Comédie-Française : Les Érinnyes de Massenet (1872), écrites pour accompagner la version de l’ Orestie par Leconte de Lisle, et dont le …

Manon ou le XVIIIe siècle du XIXe siècle
Adapté d’un chef-d’œuvre de la littérature française du XVIIIe, Manon de Jules Massenet transpose avec une habileté consommée les détails du roman dans les termes les plus parlants pour un spectateur cultivé de la fin du siècle suivant. On en résume ici la genèse et les principales caractéristiques, tant du point de vue de l’adaptation littéraire que des références musicales au XVIIIe siècle
The Lubcza Years
This opening chapter presents the Nabokov family and evokes Nabokov’s childhood, from his birth in 1903 in what is now Belarus to the family’s departure for St. Petersburg in 1911. His parents being separated, those years were spent with the family of his mother, née Falz-Fein, on the estate of Lubcza, on the Niemen river, and in the Ukraine, where his uncle Frederick Falz-Fein had founded what is generally considered the first biosphere, Askania…
Nicolas Nabokov
This first biography of Nicolas Nabokov (1903-78) reevaluates the role of the Russian-born American composer as a postwar cultural force, notably as secretary general of the Congress for Cultural Freedom in the 1950s and 1960s, and the contribution to twentieth-century music of this collaborator of Diaghilev, Stravinsky, and Balanchine
French Opera
French opera
French opera is second only to Italian opera in the length breadth and diversity of its history. This book provides an account of opera in France from its origins onwards. It looks at the leading composers; at the development of French operatic form and style; and at the impact of French opera beyond France's borders.
From Lully to Rameau
This chapter examines the evolution of French opera from Jean-Baptiste Lully to Jean-Philippe Rameau. It discusses the origins of opéra-comique and the emergence of the so-called tragédies en musique between Lully's death and Rameau's operatic debut. The chapter also describes the works of other opera composers who came to prominence during this period, including Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Marin Marais, Andre Campra, Henri Desmarets, and Andre Car…
The Age of Rameau
This chapter examines the evolution of French opera under the Régence, explaining that while the basic structure of the tragédie en musique remained unchanged, it gradually accommodated vocal forms that subtly altered it. It mentions that while Jean-Philippe Rameau dominated the French operatic scene for three decades, there were several significant opera composers who emerged during this period, including Michel Pignolet de Montéclair, Jean-Mari…
Le répertoire de l’Opéra de Paris (1671-2009)
L'Opéra de Paris, loin de l'uniformité qui règne aujourd'hui entre tous les opéras du monde, a longtemps fait cavalier seul : en jouant majoritairement des œuvres anciennes, en se refusant aux langues étrangères, en cultivant jalousement sa propre tradition. Les études réunies ici explorent les principales options qui structurent son répertoire pendant plus de trois siècles : l'ancien et le nouveau, l'équilibre entre opéra et ballet, l'inclusion …
