‎Between Centres and Peripheries. Music in Europe from the French Revolution to WWI‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xiv + 434 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:40 b/w, Language(s):English, French, Spanish. ISBN 9782503608488.‎

‎Summary This volume revisits the artificial and enormously limiting historiographical concepts of centre and periphery in European musical life throughout the long 19th century and until the outbreak of the First World War. In this period, music played a prominent role, and cities such as Paris, Vienna, Milan or London, real laboratories of artistic creation, became social and cultural references for the rest of the continent, whose inhabitants strove to imitate their musical habits such as concert and theatrical life, soir es, parties or musical promenades. From diverse perspectives, this volume rethinks the singularity, influence and connections of different European musical centres, analysing the reproduction of cultural models and the conflicts that these models imposed on the peripheries, most of which have been ignored in the historiography of Western European music. In addition, it will also address the birth of musico-national languages situated on the European geographical margins, that develop interesting synergies between universality and nationality. The peripheral models of musical production and circulation in contexts far from the usual musical venues will also be addressed, as well as the derived cultural transfers.‎

‎Basso Continuo in Italy. Sources, Pedagogy and Performance‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxx + 345 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:30 b/w, 70 musical examples, Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9782503608501.‎

‎Summary The volume explores the long-lasting phenomenon of basso continuo in the Italian peninsula, from its origins ? i.e. from the regole per suonare sopra il basso which collects and develops the contrappunto alla mente's legacy ? up to the late partimento pedagogy. In addition to a bibliographic update, the volume presents case studies providing the reader with new information on performative contexts and performance practice between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, and shedding new lights on sacred and secular genres and repertoires cultivated in churches, theatres, academies, noble chambers and domestic environments. Particular attention is given to the relationship between counterpoint, improvisation and instrumentation, to the analysis of primary sources in relation to book formats and the type of notation chosen to convey the accompaniment. Furthermore, a few chapters focus on peculiar issues of accompaniment pedagogy according to unpublished or neglected sources.

‎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
