Item description from seller

Paperback, XCIV+178 p., 245 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503515946. The 93 Airs, Chansons and Villanelles, which represent the complete surviving works of Charles Tessier, are presented here for the first time in a critical but practical modern edition. The French, Italian, Spanish and "Turkish" songs for four or five voices, first published in Paris and London between 1595 and 1604, precede a unique autograph manuscript collection of airs for solo voice and lute, with an appendix of related music, including Parisian street-cries which the composer sent to an English gentleman in 1597. Some of the songs were admired and imitated by John Dowland, who met Tessier in Paris in 1580 and, like him, published his first book of Songes at London in 1597. The edition is the result of 30 years of study and meditation following the discovery of Tessier's autograph manuscript and letters in 1976 by the musicologist Frank Dobbins, Reader in musicology at London University, later Professor at Tours (Univ. F.Rabelais & Centre d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance) and currently Associate Professor at University of Montreal, author of Music in Renaissance Lyons (Oxford, 1991), many articles on Renaissance music, and editor of The Oxford Book of French Chansons(Oxford, 1987) and of music by G. Boni (1987), Janequin (1991), Monteverdi (2002) and Jacotin (2005). Les 93 Airs, Chansons et Villanelles, qui forment aujourd'hui l'oeuvre complete de Charles Tessier, sont presentes ici pour la premiere fois dans une edition critique qui est aussi une edition moderne pratique. Les chansons francaises, italiennes, espagnoles et ?« turques ?» pour quatre ou cinq voix, publiees pour la premiere fois a Paris et Londres entre 1595 et 1604, precedent un manuscript autographe unique d'airs pour voix seul et luth, et un appendice de musique relative au repertoire, dont des cris de rue de Paris que le compositeur a envoye a un gentilhomme anglais en 1597. Certaines des chansons de C.Tessier furent admirees et meme imitees par John Dowland, qui rencontra le compositeur a Paris en 1580 et qui, comme lui, fit publier son premier livre de Songes a Londres in 1597. Cette edition est le resultat de 30 ans d'etude et de reflexion menees a la suite de la decouverte du mansucrit autographe et de lettres de Tessier en 1976 par le musicologue anglais Frank Dobbins, Professeur en musicologie a l'Universite de Londres, puis a Tours (Univ. F. Rabelais & Centre d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance) et actuellement Professeur associe a l'Universite de Montreal, auteur de Music in Renaissance Lyons (Oxford, 1991), de nombreux articles sur la musique de la Renaissance, et editeur de The Oxford Book of French Chansons (Oxford, 1987) et de musiques de G. Boni (1987), Janequin (1991), Monteverdi (2002) et Jacotin (2005). Languages : French. 0 g. …
