‎Dukes of Arenberg and Music in the Eighteenth Century : The Story of a Music Collection‎

‎, Brepols 2015, 2015 Hardcover, iv + 267 pages, ., 184 col. ills, 220 x 280 mm, English, ISBN 9782503555577.‎

‎This publication is the revised, expanded, and updated version of the book in French that appeared in 2010 from the same publisher: Les ducs d?Arenberg et la musique au XVIIIe si cle. Histoire d?une collection musicale. The study explores in depth the development of a music collection created by one of the most influential noble European families under the Ancien R gime ? a family resident in the Spanish and then the Austrian Netherlands, the territory of the future state of Belgium. Today forming an integral part of the private family archives kept at Enghien (in the Hainaut region of Belgium), this exceptional collection of manuscripts and prints from all over Europe began to expand in the last years of the seventeenth century, and grew gradually and continually throughout the eighteenth century. Analysing this collection has afforded a rare opportunity to discover and identify musical sources entirely unknown to us until now; these include works by the Italians Alessandro Scarlatti, Pietro Torri, and Antonio Vivaldi. With the aid of unpublished archival material, it has proved possible also to relate and explain how this important music collection was amassed, and, through the prism of the musical affinities of an aristocratic family, to illustrate the evolution of taste in eighteenth-century Europe. The introduction to the book sets out key milestones in the history of the Arenbergs and their music library. The three chapters that follow trace the development of this collection under Dukes L opold-Philippe (1690-1754), Charles-Marie-Raymond (1721-1778), and Louis-Engelbert (1750-1820) d?Arenberg, while an Epilogue sheds light on the era of the Prince and composer Paul d?Arenberg (1788-1844). Via music lessons, private and public concerts, operatic performances (not only in Brussels but also in Paris, London, Vienna, and Rome), and contacts with such musicians as Mozart, Paisiello, and Haydn, the Dukes acquired in the region of 1500 music manuscripts and prints, where the above names, as well as those of Lully, Handel, Pergolesi, Gr try, and Salieri, appear alongside those of musical personalities long since fallen into obscurity. Finally, the book tells a hitherto largely untold story of musical life in the former Southern Netherlands and Europe under the Ancien R gime, the family archives shedding particular light on the role played in this by the Dukes of Arenberg as patrons of the Arts. Towards this end, the book makes detailed reference to and reproduces the most significant sources and documents. Review ?The book is beautifully produced and consists of everything a critical reader wishes to find: a fine structure, excellent prose, many full colour reproductions of highest quality, and, above all, a lot of information (?) All in all, this is a lovely book which will easily serve as an adornment on the bookshelves of readers with an interest in western music of the eighteenth century.? (Albert Clement in BMGN, 20/11/2017)‎

‎Roger Wittevrongel. Grafisch Werk - Printmaking‎

‎, Hopper & Fuchs, 2023 Hardcover, 160 pages, ENG / NL, 310 x 240 x 22 mm, New / Nieuw. ISBN 9789464002270.‎

‎Roger Wittevrongel (born in Blankenberge, Belgium, 1933) is commonly considered an exponent of hyperrealism, a style of painting typical of the 20th century American and European art that typically takes photographs as its source material. Axiomatic in that art movement is the clear and instant recognisability of what is painted, next to the immense impact of photography in the way reality is perceived. By completely eliminating all signifying context, Wittevrongel manages magically to disappear and thus to steer clear of all moralzing comments and of social commitment issues. What Wittevrongel intends to create, is an autonomous world of forms in which the ever-deceitful interplay between reality and its depiction is utterly bracketed out. For Wittevrongel, it is the paltry and the spare, at times even wretchedly banal, that receive full attention. What hits the retina is what you get. Rathprophilous obsession with dung-eating and ordure-gathering, there is the stronger than the anatomist's dissecting quests for comprehensiveness or the coprophilous obsession with dung-eating or ordure-gathering, there is the strong and patent conviction that poetry resides, not in lofty thought and deep sentiment but in the exiguous details of everyday life which we had often rather not see.‎

‎Depuis que le role international de Bruxelles se confirme, une profonde mutation est en cours.

Apres le chantier de l'Europe de la Monnaie, c'est celui de l'Europe de la Culture qu'il va falloir entreprendre pour cimenter l'Union europeenne. Et Bruxelles a son role historique a jouer dans ce projet. L'identite de la ville europeenne est faite de respect et de connaissance du passe, mais aussi de creativite et d'imagination. L'Europe ne peut plus se contente d'une capitale qui evolue sans projet.‎

‎Camille Saint-Sa ns, Le Carnaval des animaux Facsimile Edition of the Autograph ‎

‎, Brepols 2018, 2018 Hardcover, dusjacket, 192 pages., 127 col. ills, 300 x 366 mm, English/Francais, Manuscript. Fine. ISBN 9782503581224.‎

‎The collection De main de ma tre showcases the facsimiles of the most prestigious scores of the Music Department of the National Library of France. Camille Saint-Sa ns? extremely long career as a virtuoso, as a brilliant pianist and organist (no fewer than seventy-six years of concerts) and his daunting catalogue of works (close to six hundred are known) have helped shape the image of him as a tutelary figure, omnipresent in the musical landscape of his time, the uncontested master of French music, showered with honours and glory, yet the champion of what was, in the young 20th century, an outmoded aesthetic. Such an image ignores, however, that from the outset of his career, at the end of the 1850s, until the 1890s, Saint-Sa ns was, on the contrary, regarded in the artistic world as an agitator, as a propagator of new ideas and as an intermediary between French and Germanic cultures. Republican from his earliest days, he was a major figure in musical life, involved in many concert societies, most notably the Soci t nationale de musique, which he founded in 1871. He was also a polemicist, whose quill was much feared and who used the press as his vehicle of choice, to disseminate his ideas, attract public attention, and conquer new audiences. Similarly, if the image of the ?official? Saint-Sa ns, at home with the stage and the institutions and their etiquette, has endured, that of the ?intimate? Saint-Sa ns, known by a faithful few for his sparkling conversation, his sharp humour and taste for puns, has been lost. If there is one work, in all of Saint-Sa ns? musical output that supremely captures the disposition so typical of the composer, it is the Carnival of the Animals. Dedicated to the autograph manuscript of Camille Saint-Sa ns? famous Carnival of the Animals (1835-1921), this volume sheds a distinctive light on the musician?s personality. Completed in February 1886, The Carnival of the Animals was created for friends and performers close to Saint-Sa ns and was performed about fifteen times between 1886 and 1894 to a small audience. Because Camille Saint-Sa ns feared that his zoological fantasy would damage his reputation, the work was published in its entirety only after his death. Since then, its immense popularity has continued to grow, so much so that it is now enjoyed by music lovers and the general public alike. Presented by Marie-Gabrielle Soret, a specialist of Camille Saint-Sa ns, who provides a detailed description of the work and the context of its creation, the facsimile includes the fourteen pieces of The Carnival of the Animals. It reveals the composer's handwriting, all the performance directions as he noted them, but also to the playful animal drawings with which he decorated his score ? a fish for ?Aquarium?, the skeleton of a dinosaur for ?Fossiles?, the pale blue pencil silhouette of a swan to illustrate the famous Swan‎

‎De kunst van Angola is reeds lang bekend in de volkenkundige musea en bij verzamelaars. Er was nog geen goed overzicht in het Nederlands van de kunst uit dit gebied. Dit boek voorziet op voortreffelijke wijze in deze leemte. De tekst van dit boek is van de hand van Europa's grootste kenner van deze kunst. Zij beschrijft eerst de oudste geschiedenis van het gebied en geeft een goed gedocumenteerd overzicht van de bronnen. In zes hoofdstukken gaat zij vervolgens in op de kunst uit de verschillende regionale culturen. Steeds geeft zij de politieke en maatschappelijke structuur, en de religieuze basis voor de cultus - objecten. In het catalogusgedeelte staat een representatieve selectie van voorwerpen uit de verschillende stijlen, meestal uit Portugese verzamelingen. De foto's zijn van goede kwaliteit, zodat belangrijke details zichtbaar zijn voor vergelijkingen met andere voorbeelden.(NBD|Biblion recensie, Drs. H.M. Leyten.) ‎

‎Between Body and Soul in Old Norse Literature. Emotions and the Mutability of Form‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 224 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605883.‎

‎Summary What did the body mean for inhabitants of the medieval Norse-speaking world? How was the physical body viewed? Where did the boundary lie between corporality and the psychological or spiritual aspects of humanity? And how did such an understanding tie in with popular literary motifs such as shape-shifting? This monograph seeks to engage with these questions by offering the first focused work to delineate a space for ideas about the body within the Old Norse world. The connections between emotions and bodily changes are examined through discussion of the physical manifestations of emotion (tiredness, changes in facial colour, swelling), while the author offers a detailed analysis of the Old Norse term hamr, a word that could variously mean shape, form, and appearance, but also character. Attention is also paid to changes of physical form linked to flight and battle ecstasy, as well as to magical shapeshifting. Through this approach, diametrically different ways of thinking about the connection between body and soul can be found, and the argument made that within the Old Norse world, concepts of change within the body rested along a spectrum that ranged from the purely physical through to the psychological. In doing so, this volume offers a broader understanding of what physicality and spirituality might have meant in the Middle Ages. TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction.
