Cynthia Verba's book explores the story of music's role in the
French Enlightenment, focusing on dramatic expression in the
musical tragedies of the composer-theorist Jean-Philippe Rameau.
She reveals how his music achieves its highly moving effects
through an interplay between rational design, especially tonal
design, and the portrayal of feeling and how this results in a more
nuanced portrayal of the heroine. Offering a new approach to
understanding Rameau's role in the Enlightenment, Verba illuminates
important aspects of the theory-practice relationship and shows how
his music embraced Enlightenment values. At the heart of the study
are three scene types that occur in all of Rameau's tragedies:
confession of forbidden love, intense conflict and conflict
resolution. In tracing changes in Rameau's treatment of these,
Verba finds that while he maintained an allegiance to the
traditional French operatic model, he constantly adapted it to
accommodate his more enlightened views on musical expression.
