Maurice Ravel's operas L'Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L'Enfant
et les sortileges (1919-25) are pivotal works in the composer's
relatively small oeuvre. Emerging from periods shaped by very
distinct musical concerns and historical circumstances, these two
vastly different works nevertheless share qualities that reveal the
heart of Ravel's compositional aesthetic. In this comprehensive
study, Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, biographical and
cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel's operas. In
documenting the operas' history, setting them within the cultural
canvas of their creation and pursuing diverse strands of analytical
and thematic exploration, Kilpatrick reveals crucial aspects of the
composer's working life: his approach to creative collaboration,
his responsiveness to cultural, aesthetic and musical debate, and
the centrality of language and literature in his compositional
practice. The first study of its kind, this book is an invaluable
resource for students, specialists, opera-goers and devotees of
French music.
