About This Item
A Poitiers, Chez Jean Faulcon l'ané, Imprimue du Rois..., 1777. 12mo (in 6s), 170 x 90 mms., pp. viii, 600, with numerous musical illustrations in text, contemporary mottled sheepskin, spine gilt in compartment, red leather label; binding a bit dried, with spine noticeably driec, top of spine chipped, base of spine slightly chipped and with small wormhole at base, corners worn. Francois de la Feilée (c. 1710 - 1780) made his reputation with this work which was first published in 1748 . "It advocates the 'expressive' performances of chant in accord with the doctrine of the Affections as it was then understood.... The use of trills and other ornamentation is recommended , and relative speeds of delivery are prescribed. The same text should be sung more slowly on a solemn feast-day than on normal days, but otherwise the immediate contents of the text should determine the manner of singing: prayers are to be sung 'devoutly and sadly,' narrative text 'without any passion but good pronunciation'" (Mary Hunter, New Grove). The work was reprinted numerous times in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
