The Marriage of Figaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Marriage of Figaro (Italian: Le nozze di Figaro) is an opera buffa (comic opera) composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, based on a stage comedy by Beaumarchais, Le mariage de Figaro (1784). Figaro arrives and hatches a plan to trick the count: Susanna will give him a note indicating she wants to meet him that night in the garden; Cherubino will be waiting there, dressed as a woman; and the countess will arrive and catch him red-handed. After commenting on the situation, they depart, and, left alone, Figaro muses on the inconstancy of women (aria: Aprite un po quegli occhi -- "Open your eyes"). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Le_Nozze_di_Figaro

A didactic treatise L'Art de toucher le clavecin (1716), which includes 8 preludes and an allemande.

Encyclopedia: Le Tombeau de Couperin In 1919 Ravel orchestrated four movements of the work ( Prélude, Forlane, Menuet and Rigaudon); this version was first performed in 1920, and has remained one of his more popular works. Le Tombeau de Couperin is a suite for solo piano by Maurice Ravel, composed between 1914 and 1917. The specific Couperin (among a family noted as musicians for about two centuries) that Ravel intended to be evoked, along with the friends, would presumably be François Couperin "the Great" (1668-1733). www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Le-Tombeau-de-Couperin

Le Ventre de Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Le Ventre de Paris (1873) is the third novel in Emile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.

French culture performing arts Beaumarchais: Mariage of Figaro Figaro, understandably, is not that wild about the idea of turning his wedding-night rights over to his boss, and a scheme is devised to avoid that. His two successful comedies were Le Barbier de Séville (1775), the basis of an opera by Rossini, and Le Mariage de Figaro (1784), the source of an opera by Mozart. This servant-master rivalry, which dates back to Commedia del Arte and the Ancient Greeks, has brought laughter to audiences worldwide for over two centuries. www.frenchculture.org /perfo/events/01beaumarchaisoct.html   (105 words)

JUDD GREENSTEIN, works? Le Tombeau de Ravel is in four movements, played attaca, with many interconnections across the movements. Ravel had written his own memorial work in 1917, Le Tombeau de Couperin, dedicating each movement to friends who had died in World War I; I turned to this work for its memorial quality, and to the Piano Trio for its musical framework. The second, third, and fourth movements are each a response to the first, and are loosely modeled on their respective movements in the Ravel Trio. www.juddgreenstein.com /works/tombeau.html   (105 words)

MUENCHNER . PHILHARMONIKER On Maurice Ravel´s "Le tombeau de Couperin" ("Couperin´s Tomb") The work was intended less as an homage to François Couperin, known as "le grand", but rather as a portrait of music in 18th century France. The political implications of this highly intentional return "ad fontes", to the sources of the French musical tradition, is also reflected in the fact that Ravel dedicated each of the six movements to a comrade who had fallen in the war. www.muenchnerphilharmoniker.de /online/english/werkarchiv.php3?ID=563   (105 words)

AMARCORDES - Couperin Le Cerf disapproved of this practice on the grounds that celebrities from the Opéra could not be relied on to maintain the decorum appropriate to such occasions; Couperin, in scoring his extant leçons for soprano soloists and continuo, clearly did not share Le Cerf’s misgivings. Couperin’s admiration for the Italian style was eventually expressed in overt terms in his Apothéose de Corelli of 1724, but a much earlier ambition, sustained throughout his life, was to unite the complementary strengths of the Italian and French styles. By now Couperin was also active as a court composer, not only of chamber music, some of which appeared in print much later in the Concerts royaux (1722) and Les goûts-réünis (1724), but also of sacred music for use in the royal chapel. www.amarcordes.ch /compositeurs/couperin_grove.htm   (105 words)

The Arethusa Ensemble: Ravel: Le Tombeau de Couperin Le Tombeau de Couperin was composed between 1914 and 1917 as a piano suite in six movements. Although its title refers only to the eighteenth-century French composer François Couperin, the work as a whole pays homage not just to Couperin but also to the spectrum of French music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and is highly nationalistic: each movement is dedicated to a friend of Ravel's killed in the Great War. Like many of Ravel's piano works, the piece was later orchestrated (in a shorter, four-movement form) by the composer, a man perhaps more widely respected for his orchestration than his composition. www.arethusa-ensemble.co.uk /repertoire/raveltomben.html   (105 words)

New York City Ballet Repertory and Dancers Tombeau means "memorial" or "tomb." In 1919 Ravel composed a commemorative suite for piano in six movements (prelude, fugue, forlane, minuet, rigaudon, and toccato) in memory of six friends who died in World War I. In 1920 the composer orchestrated the piece, eliminating the fugue and the toccato. Music: Le Tombeau de Couperin (1919, orchestrated 1920) by Maurice Ravel Ravel honors 18th century French music in general and the French Baroque composer François Couperin in particular; Couperin was court musician and composer to Louis XIV, the Sun King. www.nycballet.com /about/rep_tombeau.html   (105 words)

Le Roi de coeur / Le Roi du coeur / King of Hearts / Philippe de Broca / Alan Bates / 1966 / film review / anti-war film Le Roi de coeur is an amazing film, one of those rare fanciful comedies that dares to tackle a genuine social or political issue and makes its point with a simplicity that is totally effective. In contrast to many of De Broca’s films, where wild comic excess serves merely to satisfy an immediate need for distraction and entertainment, Le Roi de coeur is a soul-searing piece of humanist poetry that leaves a lasting impression. In Le Roi de coeur, his most personal film, he manages to show the madness of war using some very simple ideas, making this one of the most significant anti-war films ever made. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_Le_Roi_de_Coeur_rev.html   (105 words)

Maat Dans les neuf suppliques qu'adresse à son juge un paysan qui a été volé, ressortent les trois attitudes fondamentales d'un comportement conforme à la Maât: Il n'y a pas d'hier pour le paresseux, pas d'ami pour celui qui est sourd à la Maat, pas de jour de fête pour l'avide. Le but de l'Égyptien de la haute société est de devenir un propriétaire de tombe, un imakhou (ce qui est, en soi, l'expression tangible de son statut social de "bien pourvu").
