Abstract

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 Based on unstudied and unpublished sources The Queen Danced Alone offers a survey of participants in the production and performances – authors, dancers, musicians, artists – as well as the arts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.

Abstract

The employment of civic musicians was a practice in most European countries in early modern Europe, all the way from London and Venice to small Danish towns. This study’s objective is to lay out which kinds of civic musicians (stadsmusikanter) Denmark had, and to examine what that came to signify for musicians and music, as there has not been a study in depth of civic musicians’ employment in Denmark until now. It has been a particular objective of this study to illuminate the Danish situation in relation to some other European countries. Compared to Germany, the civic music system in the kingdom of Denmark developed some clear characteristics in the period 1660–1800 because it had to fulfil the requirements of both the absolute monarchy and the municipal authorities. It is particularly interesting that the system was regulated by royal licenses which applied across both towns and the countryside. The book’s first main section goes through the background to the absolute monarchy’s civic music system, including the conditions of employment. The second main section shows what the social consequences of the Danish system were for both licensed and unlicensed musicians. The third section is about the instruments and the music. We find examples of the entire repertoire of the Danish civic musicians, from ambitious artistic ensemble music to virtuoso solo sonatas with continuo and single part music for everyday use. The civic musicians exercised a marked influence on the unlicensed players in villages. One can speak of a cultural battle between the professional civic musicians’ music and the traditions of the country fiddlers. Civic musicians in Denmark had international contacts with colleagues and played a prolific role as promoters of music.

Abstract

Dès son origine, l’Académie royale de musique va fonctionner en combinant la protection et le contrôle du pouvoir avec une gestion d’entreprise de spectacles. Jean-Baptiste Lully développe son Académie en cumulant la détention du privilège, la direction de la gestion et une bonne part de la direction artistique, tandis que l’institution impose des limitations aux autres formes de musique dramatique, tels la musique de scène à Paris ou les opéras de province. En 1673, le privilège de « seul imprimeur du roi pour la musique » accordé depuis plusieurs générations à la famille Ballard est réattribué au jeune Christophe avec une clause formelle d’exclusivité pour la typographie musicale. La forte visibilité des créations entre Paris et Versailles et l’unicité de son atelier d’imprimerie génèrent la publication d’un répertoire très homogène mais qui exclut largement la musique composée en province. La splendeur de la musique sous le règne de Louis XIV ne doit pas cacher que les musiciens de ce temps n’ont eu que peu de facilité pour être interprétés, publiés et se faire connaître, du fait de la combinaison des privilèges de l’Académie et de Ballard. Les contraintes réglementaires et contractuelles qui régissent cette situation sont exposées dans ce volume, qui traite de la vie et de la production de Christophe Ballard entre 1672 et 1715. Il inclut la description des 1300 éditions sorties de son atelier ainsi que celles de son frère cadet Pierre III et de son fils Jean-Baptiste Christophe (jusqu’en 1715). Il propose également une synthèse sur la concurrence française ou étrangère comme sur le commerce des copistes en musique.
