Reviews

'Lionel Sawkin's long-awaited Thematic Catalogue of the Works of Michel-Richard de Lalande is the product of a life's work spent in European and North American libraries, and is probably one of the most important contributions to the study of French baroque music in recent decades. ' - Jean-Paul Montagnier, Eighteenth-Century Music
'The present work can only strengthen Sawkins's reputation as an editor, scholar, researcher, writer, and preeminent authority on the French Baroque in general and Lalande in particular. In the years to come, it should serve as an important reference for anyone interested in the music of 17th- and 18th-century France....Well researched, presented, proofed, and published, it leaves no room for doubt about the author's credentials as a musicologist and scholar' - Tina Chancey, Early Music America
'The author's expertise in this field has long been unrivalled...Sawkins's catalogue represents a huge contribution to the cause of Lalande research. The book will be invaluable...Lionel Sawkins has been a tireless champion not just of Lalande but of French baroque music in general. This book will justly be regarded as the crowning achievement of a lifetime's work on the composer for whom he has done so much.' - Graham Sadler, University of Hull
'Sawkins has produced one of the most extraordinarily thorough, richly detailed, well-oganisezed, and useful musical thematic catalogs yet published.' - The American Organist (October 2006)
'Anyone interested in Lalande's music will find that this catalogue contributes mightily to our understanding of a composer, who can now be elevated to a more exalted position in the pantheon of French Baroque composers.' - The American Organist (October 2006)
'This is a milestone among thematic catalogues.' - The American Organist (October 2006)
'...a tour de force of musical scholarship.' - Don Fader, Music and Letters, Vol. 88, No. 2

Description

A comprehensive catalogue of the works of an undisputed master of the French Baroque

For 43 years (1683-1726), Lalande's music occupied a central position at the courts of Louis XIV and Louis XV, where his grands motets and instrumental suites set a style admired then and long after, both in the royal chapel and at the Paris Concert spirituel . Recent festivals at Versailles, as well as many editions, performances and recordings worldwide, underline the importance of Lalande as an undisputed master of the French Baroque. With over 3,000 music examples, details of performing requirements and of all source materials, as well as with comprehensive indexes and thematic locators, this Thematic Catalogue makes Lalande's compositions fully accessible to musicians, musicologists, and music lovers.

Readership: Scholars and students of Lalande and his music, and French music of the baroque period.
