Innehåll:
Music in a time of war -- Juste proportion : music as the measure of all things -- Violence, dance, and ballet de cour -- The cross and the sword -- Pyrrhic dance and the art of war -- "Dresser l'homme" : ballet à cheval.
Sammanfattning: Examines noble education in the arts to show how music contributed to cultural and social transformation in early modern French society. Van Orden constructs a fresh account of music's importance in promoting the absolutism that the French monarchy would fully embrace under Louis XIV, uncovering many hitherto unpublished ballets and royal ceremonial performances. The great pressure on French noblemen to take up the life of the warrior gave rise to bellicose art forms such as sword dances and equestrian ballets
