Singing the French Revolution by Laura Mason Pdf

Laura Mason examines the shifting fortunes of singing as a political gesture to highlight the importance of popular culture to revolutionary politics. Arguing that scholars have overstated the uniformity of revolutionary political culture, Mason uses songwriting and singing practices to reveal its diverse nature. Song performances in the streets, theaters, and clubs of Paris showed how popular culture was invested with new political meaning after 1789, becoming one of the most important means for engaging in revolutionary debate.Throughout the 1790s, French citizens came to recognize the importance of anthems for promoting their interpretations of revolutionary events, and for championing their aspirations for the Revolution. By opening new arenas of cultural activity and demolishing Old Regime aesthetic hierarchies, revolutionaries permitted a larger and infinitely more diverse population to participate in cultural production and exchange, Mason contends. The resulting activism helps explain the urgency with which successive governments sought to impose an official political culture on a heterogeneous and mobilized population. After 1793, song culture was gradually depoliticized as popular classes retreated from public arenas, middle brow culture turned to the strictly entertaining, and official culture became increasingly rigid. At the same time, however, singing practices were invented which formed the foundation for new, activist singing practices in the next century. The legacy of the Revolution, according to Mason, was to bestow new respectability on popular singing, reshaping it from an essentially conservative means of complaint to an instrument of social and political resistance.

An Anthology of French and Francophone Singers from A to Z by Michaël Abecassis,Marcelline Block Pdf

Every musical form has had an impact on the linguistic practices of our society. French song is a vector of cultural, social, and stylistic values. Throughout the world, songs in the French language are used in the teaching of French: professors incorporate songs into the curriculum in order to illustrate differences of register and linguistic variation, as well as to raise lexical or grammatical questions. As a form of popular expression, song is a genre that has, in recent years, become the focus of serious academic scholarship and criticism. However, few linguists have paid attention to French song and its linguistic uses. This richly illustrated mini-dictionary about French singers fills this gap by offering a collection of portraits of the greatest singers of the French language and how they have constructed the musical landscape in both France and the larger francophone community and the world as a whole. Through (re)discovering these classic and contemporary artists who contribute to the creation of the sonorous universe of the 20th and 21st centuries, the volume determines how these musical genres influence the French language and nourish our collective imagination. By plunging into francophone song, one can achieve a better understanding of the culture and the language of its speakers.

Sing French by Eileen Davis Pdf

Sing French is an innovative approach to the study of French Diction for singers. Written by a professional singer and teacher, this book approaches the subject from the singer's standpoint, always taking into account the necessary singing space. The first two chapters explain fundamental facts such as accents, mute and aspirate h, syllabification, legato and patterns of accentuation and stress. Not only intended for the novice, these introductory chapters will also clarify some of the seeming mysteries about the French language to those who have studied it previously and could well be used as the essential basis for a diction course limited to less than a semester's time. Seven songs by Duparc, Fauré and Debussy are presented within the book with text analyses and vocal lines, complete with IPA transcriptions and literal translations. Full piano scores of these songs (each in two keys) comprise Appendix 4. On the three accompanying compact disks the French examples and vocal lines in the first three chapters are demonstrated along with songs in performance and the piano accompaniments in two keys [Publisher description].
