Dance played a fundamental role in French Baroque theatrical
entertainments. Le Mariage de la Grosse Cathos, a comic mascarade
composed by Andre Danican Philidor in 1688, is of major importance,
because it is the only theatrical work from the court of Louis XIV
to have survived complete in all its components - choreography,
music, and text, both spoken and sung. It provides a concrete model
not only of how dance was integrated into the musical theatre, but
of how ballets - or even operaswere staged. Moreover, it uses a
previously unknown dance notation system developed around the same
time as Feuillet notation by choreographer Jean Favier l'aine. This
book reproduces the entire manuscript of the mascarade and provides
a comprehensive study of the work itself and of the circumstances
in which it was created and performed. Chapters devoted to the
music, the dance, and the performers provide a framework for
understanding the performance context not only of this work, but of
other court entertainments of the period. A study and evaluation of
the notation system in which the dances are recorded, together with
detailed analyses of the dances and of the movement indications for
the musicians, complete the monograph.
