Vincenzo Galilei, père de l'astronome et mathématicien Galileo, est surtout connu aujourd'hui pour son activité au sein de la Cameratafiorentina, cette académie informelle qui joua un rôle décisif dans la promotion de la monodie accompagnée à la fin du XVIe siècle, étape indispensable à la naissance de l'opéra quelques années plus tard. Mais ce théoricien célèbre se souciait aussi de pratique : compositeur et luthiste accompli, il a laissé de nombreuses oeuvres musicales et un traité, Fronimo, qui propose à son lecteur une méthode permettant d'arranger la musique vocale sur un luth. Ce livre propose pour la première fois d'étudier en détail la conception que Galilei se fait de l'art instrumental de son temps, grâce à une comparaison rigoureuse et exhaustive des deux éditions de son traité, parues en 1568 et 1584. Abordant des domaines aussi variés que ceux de la théorie instrumentale, du contrepoint, du madrigal italien, de la vie musicale florentine ou des conceptions esthétiques de Galilei, il apporte un éclairage nouveau sur l'une des figures les plus importantes de l'histoire de la musique italienne de la fin de la Renaissance.

The Queen Danced Alone: Court Ballet in Swedenduring the Reign of Queen Christina(1638-1654)is the first monograph devoted to court ballet during Christina’s reign that offers an in-depth analysis of all the extant libretti of the performances. The Queen’s highly active patronage of this theatre form, and its development in Sweden in the framework of a cultural transmission from France, are elucidated as we follow Christina in her multiple roles of promoter, inventor and dancer of the ballets. Queen Christina of Swedendanced herself in the ballets she promoted. From the beginning of her personal rule until her abdication (1644–1654) court ballet was Christina’s privileged medium of political propaganda. The Queen Danced Alone is the first monograph on court ballet during Christina’s reign that offers an in-depth analysis of all extant libretti and performances. Based on unstudied and unpublished sources The Queen Danced Alone offers a survey of participants in the production and performances – authors, dancers, musicians, artists – as well as the arts involved: dance, music, poetry, set design and costumes. Christina’s patronage is especially evident in the heroic motives of the ballets. Her self-fashioning through the parts of the goddesses Diana and Pallas mirrored her role as a young, unmarried and learned monarch and aimed at liberating her from the expectation of providing an heir to the throne. The praise of virtues such as self-control and chastity represented her as a superior being devoted to wisdom. Christina’s ballets supported her most important aim: independence.
