de Laure Dautriche (Avec la contribution de) - (Français) Broché – 16 mai 2019 - Savez-vous que Mozart était franc-maçon ? Que Beethoven était fasciné par Bonaparte ? Que François-Joseph Gossec a mis en musique la Révolution française ? Que Strauss s'accommoda des nazis et que Chostakovitch résista à Staline ? Face au pouvoir, la plupart des musiciens se sont engagés et ont choisi d'entretenir avec les puissants des rapports d'admiration, de séduction ou d'opposition... Certains ont été les porte-voix de régimes politiques, comme Richard Strauss tiraillé sous le IIIe Reich entre son soutien à Hitler et le désir de conserver son indépendance musicale. Au contraire, Claude Debussy, ne pouvant être appelé sous les drapeaux en août 1914, est parti en guerre contre la musique allemande avec la volonté d'écrire la musique la plus « française » qui soit. En Union soviétique, dès le milieu des années 1930, Chostakovitch voit, lui, planer au-dessus de son épaule l'ombre de Staline, mais décide de ne pas céder. De Lully courtisan du Roi-Soleil à Verdi chantre de l'unité italienne, d'Hector Berlioz partisan des Trois Glorieuses à Mikis Theodorakis affrontant la dictature des colonels, Laure Dautriche nous invite à suivre le parcours singulier de treize génies pris dans les tourments de l'Histoire. Plongée dans les révolutions, les guerres ou les dictatures, leur musique a toujours fini par triompher.

‘Yeomen of the Guard’ is a more ‘serious’ Gilbert and Sullivan opera and this perhaps accounts for its original lukewarm reception as it ran contrary to audience expectation. Set in the Tower of London in the sixteenth century the libretto concerns a jester Jack Point and his girl Elsie who plot to aid a war hero who is sentenced to die in the Tower. That hero Colonel Fairfax has been condemned to die by a relative who stands to inherit his fortune. Fairfax wants to marry someone just before his execution so that his bride will inherit instead. Jack sets Elsie up to marry Fairfax thinking it will do no harm. However Fairfax escapes and remains in the area in disguise. Hespots Jack trying to woo Elsie and gives a demonstration of the proper way to woo winning Elsie's affections himself. In the end everyone pairs off except Jack who loses Elsie to Fairfax and is heartbroken. This is the Schirmer Edition of the Vocal Score containing all the dialogue and edited by Edmond W. Rickett.

'Yeomen of the Guard 'est un plus' sérieux 'de Gilbert et Sullivan l'opéra, ce qui explique peut-être pour ce accueil mitigé originale, car elle était contraire à l'attente du public. Situé dans la Tour de Londres au XVIe siècle, le livret concerne un bouffon, Point Jack et sa fille, Elsie qui complotent pour aider un héros de guerre qui est condamné à mourir dans la tour. Ce héros, le colonel Fairfax, a été condamné à mort par un parent qui se trouve à hériter de sa fortune. Fairfax veut épouser quelqu'un juste avant son exécution, de sorte que son épouse va hériter à la place. Jack met en place pour épouser Elsie Fairfax, en pensant qu'elle ne fera aucun mal. Toutefois, Fairfax échappe et reste dans la zone dans le déguisement. Il taches Jack essayant de courtiser Elsie et donne une démonstration de la bonne façon de séduire, en remportant affections Elsie lui-même. En fin de compte, tout le monde éteint, sauf les paires de Jack, qui perd Elsie à Fairfax et a le coeur brisé.Ceci est l'édition Chappell / PMI du livret contenant tous les dialogues. / Livret

Dans le mouvement final Philip Sparke a réussi à saisir le dynamisme virtuose énergétique et unique de la musique d?Ellington.
