During the Great War, composers and performers created music that expressed common sentiments like patriotism, grief, and anxiety. Yet music also revealed the complexities of the partnership between France, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. At times, music reaffirmed a commitment to the shared wartime mission. At other times, it reflected conflicting views about the war from one nation to another or within a single nation. Over Here, Over There examines how composition, performance, publication, recording, censorship, and policy shaped the Atlantic allies' musical response to the war. The first section of the collection offers studies of individuals. The second concentrates on communities, whether local, transnational, or on the spectrum in-between. Essay topics range from the sinking of the Lusitania through transformations of the entertainment industry to the influenza pandemic.

Fran ois Boscheron, dont rien n' tait connu jusqu'ici, ni les dates extr mes de sa vie ni m me son pr nom, fut ses heures perdues un auteur de petites oeuvres originales. Des travaux biographiques et ditoriaux portant sur desfigures majeures du XVIIe si cle, telles Charpentier, Corneille, D'Aubignac, Pavillon, Quinault et Varillas, lui ont valu de multiples mentions dans des ouvrages de critique litt raire et historique. Parmi les contemporains avec lesquels il interagissait pendant le premier tiers du XVIIIe, on compte Boffrand, Fontenelle, Galland, La Monnoye, Saint-Pierre et Sallengre. Ami du romancier et voyageur Robert Challe, dont il tait dans une certaine mesure le repr sentant Paris, Boscheron tait comme lui un correspondant important des responsables du Journal litt raire de La Haye. Malgr tous ces liens, cet habile touche- -tout n'a jamais fait l'objet d'une tude d'ensemble. Ce livre se donne donc comme objectif d' valuer ses crits et de replacer cet crivain convenablement dans ce qu'il aurait appel la R publique des Lettres . Pour la premi re fois, cet auteur m connu se trouve pourvu d'une identit , d'une vie personnelle et d'un contexte professionnel qui, pour tre impr vu, n'en tait pas moins central dans la soci t parisienne de son poque.

Much work has been done in recent years on Quinault’s librettos, but no major study of his spoken plays has appeared since the monumental thesis by Etienne Gros, published in 1926. Moreover, he has never been the subject of a monograph in English. There is a need to re-assess the influence of his life on his plays, and to re-evaluate Gros’s findings in the light of eighty years’ research into seventeenth-century French theatre in general. This book rejects the deterministic approach that sees his plays as apprentice pieces for the greater achievement that is his corpus of librettos, as well as the implicit comparative approach that pigeon-holes his work, in passing, by borrowing from the pithy judgements of Boileau. To what extent does Quinault’s steady move away from comedy and light tragi-comedy to tragedies that combine love and menace go hand in hand with his search for greater integrity, better characterisation, and ever more credible plotting? How did he come to create and retain a tremendously faithful audience that even the withering mockery of Boileau failed to discourage? And is there any purpose in retaining the time-worn comparison between the author of Andromaque and the author of Astrate?

Identity and subjectivity in musical performancesWho is the “I” that performs? The arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have pushed us relentlessly to reconsider our notions of the self, expression, and communication: to ask ourselves, again and again, who we think we are and how we can speak meaningfully to one another. Although in other performing arts studies, especially of theatre, the performance of selfhood and identity continues to be a matter of lively debate in both practice and theory, the question of how a sense of self is manifested through musical performance has been neglected. The authors of Voices, Bodies, Practices are all musician-researchers: the book employs artistic research to explore how embodied performing “voices” can emerge from the interactions of individual performers and composers, musical materials, instruments, mediating technologies, and performance contexts.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
