Book Synopsis Music at the Maison royale de Saint-Louis at Saint-Cyr by : Deborah Kauffman
Download or read book Music at the Maison royale de Saint-Louis at Saint-Cyr written by Deborah Kauffman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of music at the Maison royale de Saint-Louis at Saint-Cyr — the famous convent school founded by Madame de Maintenon and established by Louis XIV in 1686 as a royal foundation — is both rich and intriguing; its large repertory of music was composed expressly for young female voices by important composers working within significant contemporary musical genres: liturgical chant, sacred motets, theatrical music, and cantiques spirituels. While these genres reflect contemporary styles and trends, at the same time the works themselves were made to conform to the sensibilities and abilities of their intended performers. Even as Jean-Baptiste Moreau's music for Jean Racine’s biblical tragedies Esther and Athalie shows a number of similarities to contemporary tragédies lyriques, it departs from that more public genre in its brevity, generally simpler solo writing, and the integral use of the chorus. The musical style of the choral numbers closely parallels that of other choral music in the repertory at Saint-Cyr. The liturgical chant sung in the church was composed by Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, and is an example of plain-chant musical, a type of new ecclesiastical composition written during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, primarily for female religious communities in France. The large repertory of petits motets (short sacred Latin pieces for solo voice), mostly composed by Nivers and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, are simpler and more restrained than works by their contemporaries. A close study of the motets reveals much about changes to musical style and performance practices at Saint-Cyr during the eighteenth century. The cantique spirituel, a song with a spiritual text in the vernacular French language, played a significant role in both the education and recreation of the girls at Saint-Cyr. Cantiques composed for the girls vary widely in terms of their style and difficulty, ranging from simple strophic melodies to more sophisticated works in the style of contemporary airs. In all cases, the stylistic features of the music for Saint-Cyr reflect a careful consideration of the needs and capabilities of the young singers of the school, as well as an awareness of the rigorous requirements of Madame de Maintenon, who kept a close watch over the propriety of all things relating to the piety, behavior, and image of her charges.

Download or read book Le chant des muses written by Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and published by Bayard Jeunesse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Pourquoi fait-on de la musique ? " : tel était le titre qui, initialement, annonçait cette " petite conférence ". On voulait y poser, mais de la manière la plus simple possible, une question proprement philosophique: d'où vient qu'il y a la musique, que la musique existe ? ou si l'on préfère: quelle est l'origine de la musique ? Dans la mythologie des anciens Grecs, les Muses, toutes filles de Mnémosyne (la Mémoire) étaient indissociablement les déesses de la musique et de la poésie, les deux arts du son. On dit qu'elles inspiraient les hommes et qu'elles tentaient de leur faire reproduire la voix qu'ils avaient entendue, avant de naître, dans le sein maternel, et dont, en naissant, ils avaient perdu toute mémoire. Peut-être alors - telle était au fond l'hypothèse - la musique serait-elle le plus archaïque de tous les arts, le plus émouvant aussi, celui par lequel on chercherait à réentendre, comme en écho, cette voix antérieure, à jamais disparue, oubliée, vouée au silence.
Book Synopsis Virgilian Identities in the French Renaissance by : Phillip John Usher
Download or read book Virgilian Identities in the French Renaissance written by Phillip John Usher and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2012 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Virgil's works, principally the Bucolics, the Georgics, and above all the Aeneid, were frequently read, translated and rewritten by authors of the French Renaissance. The contributors to this volume show how readers and writers entered into a dialogue with the texts, using them to grapple with such difficult questions as authorial, political and communitarian identities. It is demonstrated how Virgil's works are more than Ancient models to be imitated. They reveal themselves, instead, to be part of a vibrant moment of exchange central to the definition of literature at the time."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis Music, Philosophy and Gender in Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Badiou by : Hickmott Sarah Hickmott
Download or read book Music, Philosophy and Gender in Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Badiou written by Hickmott Sarah Hickmott and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What counts as music for contemporary thinkers? Why is music of use to philosophers and how do they use it in their work? How do philosophers decide what music is and what assumptions are uncritically inherited in this move? And what is the philosophical relationship between music and gender? To answer these questions, Sarah Hickmott looks at the way music is used, characterised and understood in the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Alain Badiou. Despite the differences in their philosophical-theoretical positions, all of these writers invoke music - both directly and indirectly - to negotiate their relationship to ontology, politics, ethics and aesthetics. Given a longer philosophical history, dating back at least to Plato, of aligning music with the feminine, she also focuses on the way gender is deployed, understood and constructed within the philosophy of music.

Book Synopsis Naming and Mapping the Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean by : Thomas Galoppin
Download or read book Naming and Mapping the Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean written by Thomas Galoppin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 1274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheistic and monotheistic religions. Far from being confined to sanctuaries, in fact, gods dwell in human environments in multiple ways. They move into imaginary spaces and explore the cosmos. By proposing a new and interdiciplinary angle of approach, which involves texts, images, spatial and archeaeological data, this book sheds light on ritual practices and representations of gods in the whole Mediterranean, from Italy to Mesopotamia, from Greece to North Africa and Egypt. Names and spaces enable to better define, differentiate, and connect gods.
Download or read book Homo Mimeticus written by Nidesh Lawtoo and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imitation is, perhaps more than ever, constitutive of human originality. Many things have changed since the emergence of an original species called Homo sapiens, but in the digital age humans remain mimetic creatures: from the development of consciousness to education, aesthetics to politics, mirror neurons to brain plasticity, digital simulations to emotional contagion, (new) fascist insurrections to viral contagion, we are unconsciously formed, deformed, and transformed by the all too human tendency to imitate—for both good and ill. Crossing disciplines as diverse as philosophy, aesthetics, and politics, Homo Mimeticus proposes a new theory of one of the most influential concepts in western thought (mimesis) to confront some of the hypermimetic challenges of the present and future. Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Homo Mimeticus appeals to both a specialized and general readership. It can be used in courses of modern and contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, political theory, literary criticism/theory, media studies, and new mimetic studies.
Download or read book Complaint written by Avital Ronell and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is not, nor it cannot come to good. But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.” Thus spoke Hamlet, one of the great kvetchers of literature. Every day, gripers challenge our patience and compassion. Yet Pollyannas rile us up with their grotesque contentment and unfathomable rejection of protest. Avital Ronell considers how literature and philosophy treat bellyachers, wailers, and grumps—and the complaints they lavish on the rest of us. Combining her trademark jazzy panache with a fearless range of readings, Ronell opens a dialogue with readers that discusses thinkers with whom she has directly engaged. Beginning with Hamlet, and with a candid awareness of her own experiences, Ronell proceeds to show how complaining is aggravated, distracted, stifled, and transformed. She moves on to the exemplary complaints of Friedrich Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, and Barbara Johnson and examines the complaint-riven history of deconstruction. Infused with the author’s trademark wit, Complaint takes friends, colleagues, and all of us on a courageous philosophical journey.
