Beauchamp, Pierre, 1631-1705 Houle, George, ed
Le Ballet des Fâcheux: Beauchamp's Music for Molière's Comedy
Publisher: Indiana UP [1991]. Publications of the Early Music Institute..
56 p. + Instrumental Parts (6 p. each for Dessus, Haut-contre, Taille, Quinte, Basse) in rear pocket; 28 cm. Pierre Beauchamp, 1631-1705, the most prominent French dancer and choreographer of his time, also composed music for many of his ballets. His collaboration with Molière resulted in a small masterpiece, the comédie-ballet Les Fâcheuz [The Bores], the music for which is published here for the first time. George Houle's edition includes an introduction, notes on performance practice, the full score, and separate parts for five string instruments. A short section by Herbert W. Myers provides directions for orchestral bowing technique based on the treatises of Muffat, Montéclair, and Dupont. The score consists of an Ouverture and twelve dances, including pantomimic and comical dances as well as bourées, gavottes, and menuets. The music is characterized by a mixture of modal and tonal harmonies, and its metrical shifts and melodic twists suggest the lively comedy of Beauchamp's dancing.' Stock# 31,009x.

Kochno, Boris
Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes
Publisher: Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc., 1970 New York.
Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Good. Hardcover Folio - over 12 - 15" tall "From Diaghilev's launching of the Ballets Russes in 1909 until his death in Venice twenty years later, he was the central figure and the motive power of one of the most extraordinary experiments in creative cross-fertilization Europe has known since the Renaissance. The painters whom he persuaded to create costume and set designs became the giants of twentieth-century art - from Picasso, Braque, Miro, and Max Ernst to his compatriots, Gabo, Pevsner, Larionov, Gontcharova, and Bakst. The composers, Milhaud, Stravinsky and dozens more - reached a new audience through his productions. And, of course, his performers have entered the pantheon of modern theatre and dance. Here is the book about that titanic figure, the story of Diaghilev in action told by his close associate for many years. In presenting his recollections of Diaghilev at work by relating them to the sixty great ballets of his career, Kochno produces a record unequaled for freshness, intimacy, information, and entertainment. The fervor of creative activity around Diaghilev is marvelously captured by the text and by original works of art of the great painters, by photographs of his greatest stars in their greatest roles - Karsavina, Ida Rubinstein, Nijinsky, Lifar, Massine, and others - and by snapshots and sketches of the painters and composers through whom his vision came into being. As part of Boris Kochno's private collection, most of the illustrative material has never been seen before. The book is a storehouse of treasures for the connoisseur, collector and lover of ballet, theatre, and art. It is a brilliant record of a great moment in modern culture." Illustrated with 312 black-and-white illustrations and 70 in full color. 293 pages with index. Book is in GOOD or better condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; wear to edges.
