Vient de paraître : Music, Dance and Franco-Italian Cultural Exchange c. 1700. Michel Pignolet de Montéclair and the Prince de Vaudémont par Don Fader, Woodbridge, Boydell & Brewer, 2021, 362 pages.
« Exposes the roots of 18th-century musical cosmopolitanism through an investigation of exchanges and collaborations between musicians and dancers from the two major national musical traditions in the early years of the century.
This study stems from discoveries in a trove of documents belonging to Charles-Henri de Lorraine, prince de Vaudémont, who served as governor of Milan under the Spanish crown from 1698 to 1706. These documents, together with a mass of other sources – letters, diaries, treatises, libretti, scores – offer a vivid new picture of musical life in Paris and Milan as well as exchanges between France and Italy. The book is both a patronage study and an examination of the contributions by – and the difficulties facing – musicians and dancers who worked across national and cultural boundaries. »
