520 1 $a"The first systematic study of French baroque music to analyze melody and lyrics rather than notational rhythms, counterpoint, and harmony, this guide presents the phrasing, rhetoric, and expression that is woven into the melodies of sung dances. Its close reading of rhetorical and poetic writings of the period, combined with its presentation of basic French linguistic patterns and speech rhythms, opens the way to a deeper historical understanding of French baroque music.
520 8 $aProudly standing apart from its European neighbors, the music of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France represented a conscious synthesis of French speech rhythms, French rhetorical practices and French theatrical recitation. As such, it demands its own performance style.".
520 8 $a"Speech and its melodies constituted what the French prior to Rameau thought of as "harmony." Twentieth-century performers and listeners who read this book will take increased pleasure in French baroque music when they can view the airs as miniature "orations" in which speech and music fuse to form a poetic whole.".
520 8 $a"Indispensable for musicians and critics who wish to deepen their knowledge of French music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this guide will also prove useful to persons interested in French poetry and theatrical performance."--BOOK JACKET.
