  Rethinking Music in France during the Baroque Era

  Since the 1974 publication of James Anthony's book French Baroque Music, research about the music that was performed and composed in France during the Baroque era has enriched its knowledge-base and investigative approaches. And yet, studies of French music have noticeably less visibility than those of German or Italian music. The 350th anniversary of François Couperin's birth in 2018 provides an opportunity for researchers and performers to re-evaluate previous work and reflect more broadly on research perspectives for the study of French music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In response to Couperin's Les Goûts réunis and Les Nations, these reflections will relate to a geographical perimeter that extends to international dialogue and will allow new avenues for advancing research to be revealed.

  Journée organisée par l’EPCC du château de La Roche-Guyon et des membres du CICC, centre de recherches de l’université de Cergy-Pontoise, consacrée aux histoires non advenues et à leur usage par les écrivains, les historiens et d’autres. Car même dans une France sans doute moins ouverte à l’imaginaire que le monde anglo-saxon, face à l’histoire avec « sa grande hache », comme l’écrivaient (reprenant Georges Perec) Fabrice d’Almeida et Anthony Rowley (Et si on refaisait l’histoire ?), on peut préférer l’histoire avec des « scies »... ou des « si ».
