Abstract

Patrons have long appeared as colorful, exceptional figures in music history, but this book recasts patrons and patronage as creative forces that shaped the sounds and meanings of new French music between the world wars. Far from mere sources of funding, early twentieth-century patrons collaborated closely with composers, treating commissions for new music as opportunities to express their own artistry. Patrons developed new pathways to participate in music-making, going beyond commissions to establish ballet companies, manage performance venues, and establish state programs. The impressive variety of patronage activities led to an explosion of new music as well as new styles and -isms, indelibly marking the repertoire that this book examines, including a number of pieces frequently heard in concert halls today. In addition to offering new perspectives on well-known French repertoire, this book challenges conceptions of patronage as a bygone phenomenon. Complementing a dwindling cast of aristocratic patrons were new ranks of music publishers, impresarios, state bureaucrats, opera directors, and others capitalizing on their savings, social connections, and artistic vision to bring new music into the world. In chapters on French discourse around patronage, aristocratic commissions, the stimulus provided by the interwar dance craze, music publishing, the Paris Opéra, state intervention in French musical life, and transatlantic musical exchanges, the book blends cultural history with primary source study and music analysis. It not only improves our understanding of French musical life and culture during the early twentieth century but also supplies us with essential insights into the ways modern music emerged at the intersection of music composition, aesthetic and national politics, and the creative labor of patrons.

Abstract

"This book is a collection of thirteen essays culled from the several books and hundreds of articles I have published and lectures I have given over the years (nearly fifty of them) on the life and work of Hector Berlioz. Organized in a chronological order determined by the essential subject matter of each essay, the book treats in detail some of composer's individual works (the Symphonie fantastique, the Symphonie funebre et triomphale, Les Nuits d'ete, La Mort d'Ophelie, Les Troyens, Beatrice et Benedict), some of the composer's relationships with his most famous contemporaries (Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner), some of the composer's most important concerns (his quest for an administrative position; his travels abroad; his fascination with English literature), the composer's most important book (Les Memoires d'Hector Berlioz), and some of his most important critics (from shortly after his death, from the twentieth century, and from the early part of the present century). In a brief Prelude, I explain the origins of the book, aspects of my career as a Berliozian, the main theme of much of my research ("politics," loosely defined), and some of the particular concerns to be treated in the texts that follow. In a brief Postlude, I treat the work of Berlioz's important critics based in part on an article of mine that appeared only in French; and I conclude with a note on the current state of Berlioz studies and some thoughts on the needs for the immediate future. Although this is essentially a collection of previously published material, it is my intention seriously to revise it in such a way as to avoid needless repetition over the course of the thirteen chapters, to bring up to date not every last detail but certain crucial matters, and to correct a number of errors and oversights. The material previously published in French and German will, in English, be entirely new"--

Abstract

« Belle Époque », « Trente glorieuses », « Années de plomb » : les noms de période ont servi aux historiens de « divisions imaginaires du temps ». Peut-on parler des « Dix décisives » pour la décennie 1869-1879, soulignant ainsi la continuité de l’influence libérale ? Cent cinquante ans après l’effondrement du Second Empire, de l’écrasement de la Commune de Paris et de la lente et incertaine conquête de la République, la décennie 1869-1879 mérite d’être revisitée. Le temps est venu d’offrir une synthèse renouvelée, prolongée d’une réflexion mémorielle sur les ressorts de l’établissement de « la plus longue des Républiques ». Quel est le moment décisif ? Sans doute celui durant lequel les choses se décident, où les acteurs sortent du provisoire, saisissent l’opportunité de l’instant de la décision. Les « Dix décisives » s’inscrivent en amont de l’installation durable de la Troisième République, enfin solidement aux mains des républicains : l’alliance politique et intellectuelle entre républicains modérés et libéraux orléanistes, préparée par une maturation et des échanges intellectuels, a servi de clé de voûte à la fondation durable de la République parlementaire en France.

Abstract

How does authority become power? How does power justify itself to achieve its ends? For over two hundred years, the Valois kings relied on a complex mixture of ideologies, ruling a monarchical commonwealth with a coherent theory of shared governance. Forged in the Hundred Years War, this commonwealth built on the defense of the public good (bien public) came undone both practically and theoretically during the Wars of Religion. Just as certain kings sought to expand the royal prerogative, so, too, elites fought to preserve their control over local government. Using town archives from more than twenty cities to complement traditional sources of political theory, The French Monarchical Commonwealth, 1356-1560 establishes the relationship between seemingly theoretical constructs, like the Salic Law, and the reality of everyday politics.

Abstract

"The centralizing monarchical discourse has long dominated our perception of the kingdom of France. Jacques Krynen, Jean Barbey, Arlette Jouanna, and many others have traced the evolution of this discourse between the 14th and 17th centuries, when, in their view, it led to a Bourbon monarchy whose relationship to the concept "absolute" differed substantially in their presentations.1 Jouanna has added important correctives to this narrative, both in her insistence on the importance of a noble ideology of resistance and in her careful presentation of "puissance absolue" as an "extraordinary weapon" [arme extraordinaire] in the sixteenth century.2 As she rightly emphasizes, "absolu(e)" took on a new meaning in the seventeenth century, and we must avoid the temptation to view early sixteenth-century developments as the germ of what happened in the middle of the seventeenth century.3"--

Abstract

Deux siècles durant, deux dynasties françaises, les Plantagenêt et les Valois, placées l'une à la tête de l'Angleterre, l'autre sur le trône des fleurs de lys, se sont livré une lutte à mort. Comment les rois de France, qui font figure de besogneux, tandis que leurs flamboyants adversaires récoltaient les lauriers de Crécy, Poitiers et Azincourt, ont-ils in fine remporté la victoire ? Ce n'est certes pas le seul effet du hasard ou de la Providence. Les Valois ont gagné, parce que, mieux que leurs adversaires, qui ne manquaient pourtant ni de volonté ni d'intelligence, ils ont su concevoir et mettre en oeuvre une stratégie globale, diplomatique et militaire, mais aussi politique, fiscale, sociale et idéologique. C'est ce que démontre avec brio Amable Sablon du Corail à travers le passionnant récit de cette confrontation totale, dont l'objet était tout autant la conquête des coeurs et des âmes que celle de territoires, de villes ou de forteresses. --

Abstract

Un grand nombre de textes imprimés intitulés "remonstrances" paraissent en France pendant les conflits politiques et religieux de la fin du XVIe siècle. Mais que sont ces remontrances, dès lors que l'on sort de l'enceinte parlementaire ? En quoi se distinguent-elles des doléances, des requêtes, des harangues, des suppliques, des plaintes, etc. ? Sont-elles caractéristiques d'un seul camp confessionnel ? En cherchant à distinguer ce genre hybride, entre écrit et oralité, cette étude montre que les remontrances révèlent une face cachée de cette période de troubles. En effet, loin de la violence souvent mise en valeur, elles soulignent au contraire l'importance des discours de paix et de justice en temps de guerre, mais aussi la permanence des négociations discrètes en vue de la réforme de l'Eglise et de l'Etat. Elles font finalement apparaître une autre chronologie de ce que l'historiographie a retenu sous le terme de "guerres de religion".

Abstract

The singer Emma Bardac (1862-1934) has often been presented as a woman who ensnared Claude Debussy (1862-1918) because she wanted to be associated with his fame and to live a life of luxury. Indeed, in many biographies and composer-related studies of Debussy, the only mentions that she receives are brief and derogatory. Here Emma Bardac and her relationship with the composer take centre stage. The book traces Emma's Jewish ancestry and her background, the significant role of her wealthy uncle Osiris, her marriage at seventeen to the wealthy Jewish banker Sigismond Bardac, her affair with Gabriel Fauré and her liaison with and subsequent marriage to Debussy. As Gillian Opstad shows, the pressure and stifling effects of domestic life on Debussy's attitude to his composing were considerable. The financial consequences of their partnership were disastrous, and their circle of close friends was small. Emma suffered physically and mentally from the tensions of the marriage, particularly money worries, and the possibility that Debussy was attracted to her older daughter. She considered divorce but supported him through his deepest depression and during the First World War until he succumbed to cancer in 1918. After Debussy's death, Emma felt driven both on his behalf and for financial reasons to further performances of the composer's works and provoked the annoyance of other musicians by having early compositions resurrected, completed and performed. In this engagingly written biography, Gillian Opstad brings to light little-known facts about Emma's background and family, advances new insights into her relationship with Debussy, and provides a glimpse of an early twentieth-century Parisian milieu that experienced wide-spread antisemitism.

Abstract

This book traces the advances and deterioration of the early modern English and French sea forces and relates these changes to concurrent developments within the respective states. Based on extensive original research in correspondence and memoirs, official reports and accounts, receipts of the exchequer and inventories in both France, where the sources are disparate and dispersed, and England, the book explores the rise of both kingdoms' naval resources from the early sixteenth to the mid seventeenth centuries. As a comparative study, it shows that, in sharing the Channel and with both countries increasing their involvement in maritime affairs, English and French naval expansion was intertwined. Directly and indirectly, the two kingdoms influenced their neighbours' sea programmes. The book first examines the administrative transformations of both navies, then goes on to discuss fiscal and technological change, and finally assesses the material expansion of the respective fleets. In so doing it demonstrates the close relationship between naval power and state strength in early modern Europe. One important argument challenges the received wisdom about the relative weakness of French naval power when compared with that of England.
