Jean-Baptiste Lully and the Fl?te: Recorder, Voice Flute, and Traverso
No Customer Reviews
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) looms large in any study of woodwind repertoire in the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, his music for fl tes is still little known today, despite comprehensive studies over the last fifty years. One of the purposes of David Lasocki's book is to bring the music to wider attention, so it includes a large number of full-length musical examples. The book begins by taking a detailed look at the woodwind musicians who played Lully's music and also considers the music of his predecessors. Drawing on this evidence, the book then discusses his fl tes to determine as far as possible whether they were recorders (and of what sizes) and/or traversos. The book also ties in Lasocki's new theory about the voice flute (alto recorder in d1), the origins of which have been mysterious until now. The fl te music of Lully's student Pascal Collasse is also considered, for good measure. A must-read for all lovers of the recorder and traverso as well as anyone interested in Baroque woodwind instruments and their music.
