Si la recherche musicologique et la curiosité de quelques interprètes ont permis de (re)découvrir des pans entiers de la musique française des années 1830-1870 - longtemps victime du mépris ignorant qu'on lui témoignait et occultée par la seule figure de Berlioz - l'ouvre d'Edouard Lalo (1823-1892) a curieusement peu profité de cette réévaluation récente, Symphonie Espagnole ou Concerto pour violoncelle mis à part. Namouna ou le Roi d'Ys figurent encore trop rarement à l'affiche, pour ne rien dire des mélodies, de la musique de chambre ou des partitions symphoniques du compositeur. Après un ouvrage consacré au compositeur belge Guillaume Lekeu dans cette même collection, Gilles Thiéblot demeure dans les régions du nord et s'attache à brosser le portrait de ce Lillois, en replaçant son oeuvre dans le contexte, plus foisonnant qu'on ne l'imagine, de la musique en France entre 1830 et 1890.
A Cello solo with Piano Accompaniment composed by Édouard Lalo.
Most of the essays in this book were solicited for the tenth anniversary of the journal 19th Century Music, which has sought to encourage innovative writing about music--musicological, theoretical, and/or critical writing--since its founding in 1977. We invited former contributors and some others to submit articles on the general question of the relations between nineteenth-century music and music of the early twentieth century. Responses to our invitation were published in two special issues in the spring and summer of 1987. The breadth and scope of these articles, and their collective cogency, sparked the idea of reissuing them under a single cover, as a book. --From the Preface This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1990.
In this first full-length study of the symphony in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France, Andrew Deruchie provides extended critical discussion of seven of the most influential and frequently performed works of the era, by Camille Saint-Sa ns, C sar Franck, douard Lalo, Vincent d'Indy, and Paul Dukas. The volume explores how these symphonists modernized the art form yet preserved many of the formal and rhetorical conventions of the canon, reconciling, in particular, Beethoven's symphonic legacy with the musical culture, intellectual environment, and political milieu of fin-de-si cle France. Drawing on contemporary criticism, music histories, composers' prose, and unpublished sketches, Deruchie's readings offer fresh insights on issues of musical form and technique, and also move beyond the notes to consider questions of meaning. Andrew Deruchie is a lecturer in musicology at the University of Otago (New Zealand).
