Le Mariage de la Grosse Cathos, a short ballet performed at the court of Louis XIV, is of major importance, largely because it has survived complete in all its components - choreography, music, and text - and also because it uses a previously unknown dance notation system. This book reproduces the entire manuscript of this ballet and provides a comprehensive study of the work itself and of the circumstances in which it was created and performed. Chapters devoted to the composer, choreographer, and performers provide a framework for understanding the performance context not only of this work, but of other court entertainments of the period. A study and evaluation of the notation system in which the dances are recorded, together with a detailed analysis of the dances, completes the introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942360318240,"sku":"NEW0521020220","price":61.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/musical-theatre-at-the-court-of-louis-xiv-le-mariage-de-la-grosse-cathos-cambridge-musical-texts-and-monographs-0521020220","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
