"The first English translation of lectures by a French
contemporary of Debussy and Ravel"
French composer and educator Vincent d'Indy differed from
contemporaries Debussy and Ravel in his conservative political and
philosophical ideas and in his musical style. This redaction and
English translation of his "Cours de composition musicale" includes
the introductory lectures for the course he taught at the Schola
Cantorum in Paris.
D'Indy's ideas about composition, best articulated in the
lectures presented here, were unique in their combination of
historical concepts and music theory. This is the first publication
of d'Indy's work in English. In addition to a faithful translation,
Gail Hilson Woldu provides annotations that clarify d'Indy's often
complex concepts and correct his occasional errors of fact. In her
introduction, Woldu places d'Indy in the world of French music
education at the turn of the twentieth century, identifies the
chief musical influences on the composer, and discusses the
political and religious controversies surrounding the Schola
Cantorum and the Paris Conservatoire. The book concludes with the
pioneering work of d'Indy scholar Merle Montgomery, who was the
first to translate the Cours into English. Her study offers a
comparative framework for understanding d'Indy's place in the
history of music composition and theory.
This volume introduces students and scholars of music history
and composition to an influential teacher and prolific composer of
the early twentieth century.
