SUMMARY:Rameau at the Utrecht Early Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Rameau is taking centre stage in the celebration of Burgundian music taking place at the Utrecht Early Music Festival this summer. On 28 and 29 August I’ll be joining fellow Ramistes from around the world at the STIMU-SYMPOSIUM entitled RAMEAU IN CONTEXT AND PERFORMANCE. My paper\, ‘Rameau’s operas: approaches to preparing the vocal music’ will examine some of Rameau’s performing practices and how to share them with singers. It will draw on what can be learned through the analysis of primary sources (scores and treatises); through the analysis of the music itself (metre\, tonality\, harmony\, structure); and\, most notably\, through new insights into Rameau’s responses to the idiosyncrasies of the libretto\, its text and versification. As it becomes clear that much of Rameau’s music is word-determined\, many of his composer-specific practices can begin to be seen as natural consequences of the French language and prosody. I will be joined by soprano Lucía Caihuela to explore these fascinating issues using two of Iphise’s airs from Dardanus – ‘Cesse\, cruel Amour’ and ‘O jour affreux!’.\nFor details of the many other events at Utrecht the summer visit the website here.

SUMMARY:Performing Rameau lecture
DESCRIPTION:I’m very excited indeed to be speaking at the Oxford International Conducting Institute Conference where I’ll be sharing my experiences preparing Rameau’s music for performance\, and talking specifically about the performance practice issues involved when working with singers. Here’s my abstract: \nDespite their popularity in France\, the operas of Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) have elsewhere stood somewhat apart from the main canon. Conducting two Rameau fully-staged productions during 2017 – Les fêtes d’Hébé (with L’Académie de l’Opéra national de Paris) and Dardanus (with English Touring Opera) – has therefore provided rare and fascinating opportunities to study and experience his music. \nParticularly instructive has been the process of rehearsing singers and instrumentalists who are largely unfamiliar with a repertoire in which many questions arise over the most fundamental of issues:  tempo and rubato\, notation of a flexible rhythm\, phrasing and articulation\, ornaments and understanding the multi-layered librettos\, to name but a few. \nThis paper will outline an approach to the distilling and communication of some of these complex Rameau-specific practices: what can be learned through the analysis of primary sources (scores and treatises); through the analysis of the music itself (metre\, tonality\, harmony\, structure); and\, most notably\, through new ways of appreciating the idiosyncrasies of the libretto\, its text and its versification. Through such a combination of performance and analysis\, we hope to understand better these extraordinary and neglected products of the French Enlightenment. \nCome along if you can!

SUMMARY:Seminar - Approaches to vocal performance in the operas of Jean-Philippe Rameau
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will explore ways of approaching the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau with a view to understanding better\, and performing more stylistically\, the vocal music in his operas. We will employ techniques of music analysis (the interpretation of metre\, rhythmic notation\, tonality and dissonance)\, study the musical sources\, and examine eighteenth-century treatises. In a new approach\, the seminar will also on draw the early modern literary expertise of Dr Jonathan Patterson (St Hilda’s Career Fellow in French) to explore how critical study of the text – its pronunciation\, meaning\, versification and structure – can inform future Rameau performance practice.
