Title: Singing Speech and Speaking Melodies. Minor Forms of Musical Theatre in the 18th and 19th Century
Description: Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xiv + 562 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, Language(s):English, Spanish, French. ISBN 9782503595436. ¶ Summary This volume addresses the complex variety of stage works with sung and spoken sections, such as «vaudeville», «singspiel», «opéra-comique», «zarzuela» or «operetta» in different European countries from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the Twenties. Beyond a multifaceted perspective, twenty-one essays investigate the nature of these musical theatre forms, attending their origins, literary sources, relationships, vocality or cultural transfers, features that in some cases have made them become a mass phenomenon. The dissemination and adaptation of these genres through different national contexts, confirms the significance of the long-standing relationship between them and the contemporary dramatical and musical repertoire, revealing significant synergies, always conditioned by the market evolution.
