Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionnaire de Musique, Vol. 1: Theorique Et Historique Cependant malgre cette grande part faite a la mu sique dans la vie publique comme dans la vie privee des Grecs, malgre cette grande consommation de choeurs de toutes sortes, d'odes, de chansons, il ne nous est rien parvenu de leurs compositions. Tout a peri. Trois fragments seulement de musique notee sont arrives jusqu a nous. Cette penurie, cette absence presque totale de documents notes, s'explique d'ail leurs par leur musique meme, fondee sur un sys teme qui n'admettait pas l'harmonie, qui la repous sait en quelque sorte. Ils_ne pouvaient, par cense quent, avoir ce que nous nommons des partitions, assemblage qui devient tous les jours plus volumi neux, des parties differentes qui, dans notre musique moderne, forment l'ensemble d'une composition. Ils n'avaient pas, d'ailleurs, a proprement parler, de musique notee separement, et ne connaissaient pas ce que nous appelons parties d'orchestre ou de choeurs; les signes qui leur servaient a ecrire la mu sique, tous tires de l'alphabet, etaient traces au-des sus du texte, dans le manuscrit meme qui contenait la poesie; les melodies s'apprenaient par coeur avec les paroles. Peut-etre le coryphee, le batteur de me sure avait-il seul, sous les yeux, le texte ainsi ao compagne des signes necessaires pour la direction de l'ouvrage qu'on executait ou qu'on representait.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionnaire de Musique: Theorique Et Historique Chaque jour le gout de la musique se repand et se popularise; cet art est devenu une des plus vives jouissances des nations civilisees; dans les deux mondes, toutes les classes de la societe subissent son influence. Chez divers peuples, la musique fait deja partie integrante de l'education publique; et, le jour arrivera bientot peut etre, ou, plus puissante que la diplomatie, elle trouvera le secret de les concilier, de les unir. Aussi, depuis plusieurs annees surtout, cet art a ete l'objet des travaux et des recherches de beaucoup d'ecrivains, et a fait eclore un assez grand nombre de traites speciaux, de recueils biographiques, d'histoires generales et particulieres. Mais ce qui manquait encore, croyons-nous, c'etait un dictionnaire de musique bien concu, bien execute, precis et pourtant complet; en un mot, une encyclopedie musicale qui resumat toutes les connaissances acquises, tous les faits importants, et qui fut au niveau des progres de l'epoque. Cependant des hommes d'un grand merite se sont occupes successivement de travaux de ce genre, et, bien qu'ils ne soient pas arrives a des resultats tout a fait satisfaisants, leurs tentatives ne meritent pas moins d'etre signalees avec eloges. Le Flamand Jean Tinctor a publie le premier dictionnaire de musique qui ait vu le jour depuis l'invention de l'imprimerie. Cet ouvrage, qui parut en 1470, a l'epoque de la renaissance des lettres, sous le titre Terminorum music definitorium, a joui pendant longtemps d'une grande estime dans le monde musical; mais il est aujourd'hui sans valeur, sans interet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource is an interesting look at how European culture, particularly European music, related to the social and cultural experiences of the residents of ninteenth-century Rio de Janeiro. The focus is on how Cariocas (residents of Rio de Janeiro) responded to and often imitated different musical styles imported from Europe. After introducing the local musical setting and showing how musical life in imperial Rio de Janeiro reflected Parisian models, the author discusses the importation of operatic repertory, the use of German classical music as the basis of an elite social class, the role of European music in Brazilian theater, and finally, the emergence of a "national" music. Overall, this study reveals European music as a powerful force in the internal processes of political, cultural, social, and ethnic negotiations during the 19th century government of Emperor Pedro II. Musicologists, Latin American historians, and anyone with an interest in urban studies will find much of interest in this book.
