Oxford University Press, USA. Hardcover. New. Hardcover. 424 pages. Dimensions: 9.4in. x 6.2in. x 1.3in.Language, education, science, and song come together in surprising ways in Katherine Bergerons new history of music in the Belle Epoque. Voice Lessons examines the modern musical art known as la mlodie franaise and its rise to prominence in the years around 1900-a period when France was pouring resources into national literacy and French scholars were beginning to grasp the nuances of the spoken tongue. Bergeron explores the relationship between the free, secular, and compulsory school system of the Third Republic, and the experimental sciences of language that grew alongside it, to observe the ways in which both science and school redefined the verbal arts in France at centurys end. The music of Faur, Debussy, and Ravel; the writings of Mallarm, Rimbaud, and Verlaine; the performances of Maggie Teyte, Reynaldo Hahn, and Sarah Bernhardt; the linguistic studies of Paul Passy and Abb Rousselot: all these sources offer evidence of the new ideas of expression that proliferated during one of the most idealistic moments in French musical history, when poets, composers, actors, singers, and scientists all learned to imagine-and to speak-their language in new ways. Through close readings of songs, poems, sound recordings, and other historical records, Voice Lessons narrates the development of a rare musical art, seeking to explain why this art emerged, why it mattered, and why it eventually disappeared.

LANDSMAAL AND THE LANGUAGE MOVEMENT IN NORWAY The Viking Age and the following two centuries developed in Norway and Iceland a rich and beautiful language, a highly idiomatic native speech, free from Greek and Latin contamination in the matter of syntax. This language had its primary home in southwestern Norway. It is on the living dialects of the same promising linguistic regions that the modern Norwegian Landsmaal, the new speech of Norway, is built. The old classical language of Norway and Iceland became, as we all know, the bearer of a rich, varied, and strikingly original literature. I shall merely mention the two Eddas, the Icelandic sagas, Heimskringla and the Konungs Skuggsjd. Norway had her period of strength and greatness followed by one of almost unparalleled decline and calamities. Civil wars followed close upon one another. In place of the raids and expeditions into foreign lands for purposes of conquest or peaceful settlement, the descendants of the vikings fell to killing one another with an earnestness worthy of a better cause. From 1130 to 1240 Norwegian history is but a record of warring factions and intrigues of claimants to the throne. This led ultimately to a decided weakening of Norways most important class of citizens, the peasant nobles--I mean the proud, independent, headstrong Norwegian freeholders. The severe monarchy built up by King Sverre and his successors also tended in the same direction. In the midst of it all came the Black Death. This scourge appeared in Bergen in the year 1347 and spread rapidly through the adjacent country, depopulating whole districts. Denmark and Sweden also were affected, but these countries were able to recuperate in a comparatively short time. It is humiliating for us to review this period of our . . .
