La Venise de Vivaldi: musique et fêtes baroques
By Patrick Barbier. 2002
La République de Venise vit au XVIIIe siècle ses dernières heures de gloire. Jamais on ne s'est autant diverti, jamais…
la fête et la musique n'ont occupé une telle place dans la vie quotidienne. Le carnaval (qui dure entre cinq et six mois), les fêtes officielles, le jeu, mais aussi les concerts, les cérémonies religieuses et l'opéra provoquent l'admiration et l'envie des visiteurs étrangers. Vivaldi, dont le nom est inséparable de Venise, écrit ses concertos pour les jeunes filles des Hospices et se comporte au théâtre en homme d'affaires, aussi doué que rusé. Du carnaval aux réceptions dans les ambassades, de la basilique Saint-Marc aux grands théâtres d'opéra, des barcarolles sur les canaux à la musique des cloîtres, Patrick Barbier, à partir de mémoires et correspondances du temps, mais aussi grâce à de savoureuses anecdotes, ressuscite la vie musicale de cette ville incomparable.Le jazz (Que sais-je? ; #2392)

Much was live and largely improvised, and an entire generation of Canadians grew up watching the VJs and embraced the new music that became the video soundtrack of our lives.
