Charles Ives, derided for much of his lifetime as an eccentric amateur, is now generally recognized as the most characterisstic, possibly the greatest, of American composers. Though there have been a number of books on Ives, this is the first to provide a coherent critical survey of his works.

The French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier is emerging from long neglect as the most important contemporary of Lully. Supplemented by numerous musical illustrations, this study provides a concise and fluent introduction to the composer, his distinctly attractive music, and his place and influence in the world of seventeenth-century French music.

Marc-Antoine Charpentier (Oxford Studies of Composers)

Marc-Antoine Charpentier is emerging from long neglect as the most important comtemporary of Lully and this work sets out to provide an introduction to the composer and his music. Born in Paris in about 1645, Charpentier studied in Rome with Carissimi. On returning to Paris his career was severely hampered by French nationalistic prejudice of his Italianate style and by intense rivalry with Lully, but he was nevertheless employed by Moliere to write incidental music for the troupe which became the Comedie Francaise. This long association gave rise to such works as the prologue and "intermedes" for "Le Malade Imaginaire". The Jesuits appointed him music master at St Louis, their principal church, for which and for various other Jesuit colleges he produced a number of small-scale sacred dramas. In 1698 he became master of the music of Sainte-Chapelle, for which he wrote many of his finest religious motets and oratorios.
