France has a long and rich music history that has had a
far-reaching impact upon music and cultures around the world. This
accessible Companion provides a comprehensive introduction to the
music of France. With chapters on a range of music genres,
internationally renowned authors survey music-making from the early
middle ages to the present day. The first part provides a complete
chronological history structured around key historical events. The
second part considers opera and ballet and their institutions and
works, and the third part explores traditional and popular music.
In the final part, contributors analyse five themes and topics,
including the early church and its institutions, manuscript
sources, the musical aesthetics of the Siecle des Lumieres, and
music at the court during the ancien regime. Illustrated with
photographs and music examples, this book will be essential reading
for both students and music lovers."
