This edited volume of case studies presents a selective history of
French music and culture, but one with a dynamic difference.
Eschewing a traditional chronological account, the book explores
the nature of relationships between one main period, broadly the
'long' modernist era between 1860-1960, and its own historical
'others', referencing topics from the Romantic, classical, baroque,
renaissance and medieval periods. It probes the emergent interplay,
intertextualities and scope for reinterpretation across time and
place. Notions of cultural meaning are paramount, especially those
pertaining to French identity, national and individual. While
founded on historical musicology, the approach benefits from
interdisciplinary association with philosophy, political history,
literature, fine art, film studies and criticism. Attention is paid
to French composers' celebrations and remakings of their
predecessors. Editions of and writings about earlier music are
examined, together with the cultural reception of performances of
past repertoire. Organized into two parts, each of the eleven
chapters characterizes a specific cultural network or temporal
interplay, which may result in synthesis, disjunction, or
historical misreading. The interwar years and those surrounding the
Second World War prove particularly rich sources of enquiry. This
volume aims to attract a wide readership of musicologists and
musicians, as well as cultural historians, other humanities
scholars and concert-goers.
