Download or read book The Correspondence in Relation to Saint Cyr written by Madame de Maintenon and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Correspondence in Relation to Saint-Cyr represents a fascinating anthology that brings together the personal letters of three prominent figures in French history: Madame de Maintenon, Charlotte-Elisabeth, duchesse d'Orléans, and Marie Adelaide of Savoy, Duchess of Burgundy. This collection offers a rare glimpse into the intricate web of socio-political and cultural dynamics within the French aristocracy at the cusp of the 18th century. The anthology unravels a diverse array of literary styles and voices, shedding light on the secretive and often misunderstood environment of the Saint-Cyr Academy, a school founded by Madame de Maintenon for the education of noble girls. The range and depth of topics covered in these letters provide an invaluable insight into the lives and thoughts of these influential women, revealing their uncertainties, ambitions, and their complex relationships with power. The authors and their correspondences are set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in French history, marked by the splendour of the Sun Kings court and the subsequent cultural and intellectual awakening that would lay the foundations for the Enlightenment. Each figure brings a unique perspective, informed by their individual positions within the societal hierarchies of the time, thus offering a multifaceted understanding of the era. Their contributions are not only significant for their historical value but also for their contribution to the early feminist discourse, reflecting early notions of education, autonomy, and womanhood. This anthology is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of history, gender studies, and literature. It opens up a dialogue between the past and the present, inviting readers to explore the complex narratives of power, education, and femininity through the lens of personal correspondence. The diversity of literary voices and styles, combined with the detailed exploration of French aristocratic life, makes this collection a compelling and enriching read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this transformative period in French history.

Download or read book Enlightenment Thought written by Margaret L. King and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Margaret L. King has put together a highly representative selection of readings from most of the more significant—but by no means the most obvious—texts by the authors who made up the movement we have come to call the 'Enlightenment.' They range across much of Europe and the Americas, and from the early seventeenth century until the end of the eighteenth. In the originality of the choice of texts, in its range and depth, this collection offers both wide coverage and striking insights into the intellectual transformation which has done more than any other to shape the world in which we live today. It is simply the best introduction to the subject now available." —Anthony Pagden, UCLA, and author of The Enlightenment and Why It Still Matters
Download or read book Music at the Maison royale de Saint Louis at Saint Cyr written by Deborah Kauffman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of music at the Maison royale de Saint-Louis at Saint-Cyr — the famous convent school founded by Madame de Maintenon and established by Louis XIV in 1686 as a royal foundation — is both rich and intriguing; its large repertory of music was composed expressly for young female voices by important composers working within significant contemporary musical genres: liturgical chant, sacred motets, theatrical music, and cantiques spirituels. While these genres reflect contemporary styles and trends, at the same time the works themselves were made to conform to the sensibilities and abilities of their intended performers. Even as Jean-Baptiste Moreau's music for Jean Racine’s biblical tragedies Esther and Athalie shows a number of similarities to contemporary tragédies lyriques, it departs from that more public genre in its brevity, generally simpler solo writing, and the integral use of the chorus. The musical style of the choral numbers closely parallels that of other choral music in the repertory at Saint-Cyr. The liturgical chant sung in the church was composed by Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers, and is an example of plain-chant musical, a type of new ecclesiastical composition written during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, primarily for female religious communities in France. The large repertory of petits motets (short sacred Latin pieces for solo voice), mostly composed by Nivers and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, are simpler and more restrained than works by their contemporaries. A close study of the motets reveals much about changes to musical style and performance practices at Saint-Cyr during the eighteenth century. The cantique spirituel, a song with a spiritual text in the vernacular French language, played a significant role in both the education and recreation of the girls at Saint-Cyr. Cantiques composed for the girls vary widely in terms of their style and difficulty, ranging from simple strophic melodies to more sophisticated works in the style of contemporary airs. In all cases, the stylistic features of the music for Saint-Cyr reflect a careful consideration of the needs and capabilities of the young singers of the school, as well as an awareness of the rigorous requirements of Madame de Maintenon, who kept a close watch over the propriety of all things relating to the piety, behavior, and image of her charges.
