Music and Musicians on the London Stage, 1695–1705 de Kathryn Lowerre

Music and Musicians on the London Stage, 1695–1705: Performance in the Long Eighteenth Century: Studies in Theatre, Music, Dance

Autor Kathryn Lowerre
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2016
From 1695 to 1705, rival London theater companies based at Drury Lane and Lincoln's Inn Fields each mounted more than a hundred new productions while reviving stock plays by authors such as Shakespeare and Dryden. All included music. Kathryn Lowerre charts the interactions of the two companies from a musical perspective, emphasizing each company's new productions and their respective musical assets, including performers, composers, and musical materials. Lowerre also provides rich analysis of the relationship of music to genres including comedy, dramatick opera, and musical tragedy, and explores the migration of music from theater to theater, performer to performer, and from stage to street and back again. As Lowerre persuasively demonstrates, during this period, all theater was musical theater.

Recenzii

'Lowerre is a musicologist, but she draws seriously and competently on the relevant scholarship and reference books in theatre history... Lowerre has added usefully to our grasp of musical practice in the turn-of-the-century period...' Music & Letters '... Lowerre's considerable understanding of the repertoire and contemporary events allows her to place the works in their historical context, highlighting social commentaries and intertextual references that occur between pieces and filling in gaps in our knowledge of works and performers through logical deduction where relevant.' Journal of British Studies 'Kathryn Lowerre has produced a detailed and scholarly account of English stage music in an often-ignored period and shows that there is much of lively interest in the decade from the last year of Henry Purcell’s life to the advent of all-sung opera in London. This book will prove invaluable to students of both music and the theatre.' Olive Baldwin and Thelma Wilson 'The book supplies an important basis for anyone who wishes to enter the field of English theatre over the next few years.' Fontes Artis Musicae

Kathryn Lowerre charts the interactions of the two companies from a musical perspective and provides rich analysis of the relationship of music to genres including comedy, dramatick opera, and musical tragedy. During this period, all theater was musical theater.
