Les fêtes du sérail / edited by Paul Corneilson -- Angélique et Médor, ou, Roland furieux / edited by Carol G. Marsh. |
| Abstract |
This volume completes the collection Ballet Music from the Mannheim Court with two ballets by Christian Cannabich: Les Fêtes du sérail (probably based on Jean-Georges Noverre's Les Jalousies, ou Fêtes du sérail, as described in his Lettres sur la danse, 1760) and Angélique et Médor, ou Roland furieux (based on the characters in Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso). The former ballet features several movements with "Turkish" instruments and the exotic setting of a harem. The latter features detailed annotations in the music regarding the story, which differs in some respects from the scenario for this ballet by Étienne Lauchery that was published for an earlier performance in Kassel. |
