During the course of the 17th century, the dramatic arts reached a
pinnacle of development in France; but despite the volumes devoted
to the literature and theatre of the ancien regime, historians have
largely neglected the importance of music and dance. This study
defines the musical practices of comedy, tragicomedy, tragedy, and
mythological and non-mythological pastoral drama, from the arrival
of the first repertory companies in Paris until the establishment
of the Comedie-Francaise. The dynamic interaction of the performing
arts in primarily spoken theatre, cross-fertilized by ballet de
cour and imported Italian opera, gave rise to a set of musical
conventions that later informed the pastorale en musique and early
French pastoral opera. The performance history of four
comedies-ballets by Moliere, Lully, and Charpentier leads to a
discussion of the musical and balletic performance practices of
Moliere's theatre and the interconnections between Moliere's last
comedie-ballet, Le Malade imaginaire, and Lully's first opera, Les
Festes de l'Amour et de Bacchus.
