insdec97.htm One of the most challenging and ear-opening albums of French baroque music to appear in a long time, one that is certain to shake even the most jaded of listeners out of his complacency. Jean-Marie Leclair, the "French Corelli"—not to be confused with Jean-Marie Leclair, defenseman for the Canucks—is finally getting better treatment than he received at the hands of those budget LP standouts, Victrola and Turnabout, et al. Likewise, London Baroque has laudably set out to give the full authentic-performance treatment to other instrumental sonata composers of the era, starting with Archangelo Corelli, supra. www.continuo.com /decrevs97/insdec97.htm

Musical Forms - Song Monophonic song became less important in art music after circa 1450, but the old forms with their imagery of courtly love remained popular in the polyphonic songs of French and Netherlands composers as late as the 16th century, when they disappeared in favour of the Chanson and the Italian Frottola and Madrigal. In France Schubert's songs contributed to the rise of the Melodie, the French counterpart to the lied, brought to perfection by Fauré, Duparc and Debussy. A far-reaching division occurred in the early 19th-century song repertory between a large 'popular' category (recreational song for a mass middle-class market, song for edifying the lower and poorer classes, folksong etc) and a smaller 'serious' type which started primarily with Schubert. w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de /cmp/g_song.html   (731 words)

Introduction to E.T.A Hoffmann Whilst Hoffmann's complete works have been translated many times in France and proved strongly influential on French writers, particularly in the 1830s and 1840s, Hoffmann is only known in extracts in the English speaking world. There is also an absence of his wide range of musical writings, which include musical criticism, short stories about composers and musicians, and about art and music in general. He wrote five novels, three collections of short stories, fairy-tales, novellas, assorted articles on various contemporary composers (Beethoven amongst them), several plays and various essays. www.petra.demon.co.uk /Hoffmann/introduction.html   (731 words)

Jacob Heringman, lutenist - Reviews When Besard and Bataille first published these airs with lute accompaniments they were probably only restoring them to something like their original conception, for the lute was the standard compositional tool for these songwriters much as the piano would be for nineteenth-century composers, or the guitar for popular songwriters today. Most of these songs belong to the most common category of courtly air, that of the air sérieux: suave, elegant songs, often in a free rhythm (that is, without regularly recurring accents) on the usual themes of what we might call the '3 L's' - lauding, loving and languishing. Jean-Baptiste Besard and Gabriel Bataille were the first musicians to arrange and publish airs with lute accompaniments, working either from the composers' original melody-bass outlines, or from more elaborate part-songs for four or five voices. www.heringman.com /airs.htm   (1066 words)

GMCD 7243 O Crux - Spanish Choral Music The three undisputed Spanish geniuses, great composers and pianists in their own right, Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909), Enrique Granados (1867-1916) and Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) fall into this category. In 1836, after the death of the absolutist monarch and supporter of the French, King Fernando VII, minister Juan Álvarez de Mendizábal decreed the confiscation of ecclesiastical assets, the first of many actions that would gradually impoverish the patrimony of the Catholic Church. This was so of the violinist Jesús de Monasterio (1836-1903), born in Cantabria, and others, better known today as the authors of famous zarzuelas, Tomás Bretón (1850-1923), from Salamanca, Francisco Asenjo Barbieri (1823-1894), from Madrid, and Amadeo Vives (1871-1932), from Barcelona. www.guildmusic.com /catalog/gui7243z.htm   (630 words)
