Music and the Origins of Language: Theories from the French Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780521473071 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The search for the origins of language was one of the most pressing philosophical issues of the eighteenth century. It has escaped notice, however, that music figured prominently in that search. This study analyzes reflections on music and music theory as they appear within the logical and narrative structure of texts by, for example, Rousseau, Diderot, Rameau and Condillac, and considers the ways in which music facilitates links between language and meaning, between conceptions of an original society and an ideal social order.

Aesthetics of Opera in the Ancien Régime, 1647-1785
ISBN: 9780521801881 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first study to recognize the wider picture of opera within early-modern French culture. Downing Thomas considers the place of music within a cultural environment--the employment of music by Louis XIV as a symbol of absolutism; the use of music as a statement against the monarchy; and the long-term development of opera as a reflection of humanism. Thomas examines key works by Lully, Rameau, and Charpentier, among others, and extends his reach from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth.
