Download or read book François Couperin and 'The Perfection of Music' written by Professor David Tunley and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: François Couperin's contribution to the literature of baroque keyboard music has long been recognized. François Couperin and 'The Perfection of Music' updates and expands upon David Tunley's valuable 1982 BBC Music Guide to the composer, and examines the whole of Couperin’s output including the organ masses, motets and chamber music, in addition to the well-known works for harpsichord. Taking as its focal point Couperin's concept of the perfection of music through the union of the French and Italian styles, this book takes a more analytical approach to Couperin's work. Early chapters outline the main contrasting features of the two schools in the seventeenth- and early eighteenth-centuries, and it becomes clear that Couperin's expressive power owed much to his fusion of the polarities of the French classical tradition with that of the Italian baroque. The book features a number of appendices, including the prefaces to Couperin's work both in the original French and in English translation, and a glossary of dances of the French baroque.

Download or read book The Mirror of Human Life written by Jane Clark and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The titles of François Couperin's harpsichord pieces have puzzled generations of players and listeners. Many refer to theatrical spectacles; others are portraits, sympathetic or satirical, of characters in the composer's circle--courtiers, aristocrats, musicians, actors and actresses. This book opens a door into Couperin's world. Jane Clark introduces us to some of the characters that inhabit the Pièces de Clavecin, whose lives, sometimes dramatic and even scandalous, are illustrated by quotations from contemporary letters, songs and satirical epigrams. Derek Connon explores the literary and theatrical world in which the composer moved, particularly the rival French and Italian Comédies, the latter with its links to the improvised Commedia dell' Arte. The heart of the book is an analytic catalogue of the individual movements from all 27 Ordres, explaining what is known about the meaning of each title. Even to the composer's contemporaries, not every reference was transparent: where mysteries remain, alternative possible explanations are presented here. The Mirror of Human Life was first published by King's Music in 2002. This Keyword Press edition incorporates new facts that have emerged since, particularly about Couperin's connections with the theatre; it includes a new essay by Jane Clark on the architecture of the Ordres, and some striking illustrations from contemporary sources [Publisher description]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Keyboard Music, Vol. 2: A Collection of Pieces Written for the Virginal, Spinet, Harpsichord, and Clavichord Besides dances, composers of this period occupied themselves with Fantasias, Preludes, Toccatas, and Variations. The Toccata was one of the earliest specifically instrumental forms. It had no well-defined requirements; but one of its obvious features was a flowing movement, often regularly recurring figures, frequently of rapid running passages, with little decided melodic character; thus, like the Fantasia and Prelude, it was in the nature of a brilliant improvisation. In the Variation was soon found a medium for the development and display of the composer's ingenuity and the executant's technical facility; and it was considered appropriate to many of the dances just described. When composers came to perceive the value of the artistic balance and contrast to be obtained by grouping together dances of different tempos, rhythms and character, grave and gay, the Suite came into being. There was no definite rule, even in the latest and lightest development of the Suite, establishing the kind and order of the movements to be used; and in the earliest examples we find an infinite variety. However, the Suite was always in the same key throughout. By the beginning of the seventeenth century some general principles of choice and arrangement were cur rently accepted; with or without a Prelude, the Suite was often constituted of an Allemande, a Courante, a Sarabande and a Gigue, in the above order; but sometimes other movements were employed.
