Belle dance of France of the XVII century – triumvirate of rhetoric, musical and choreography
Abstract
Within the framework of the article, an attempt is made to consider some aesthetic and choreographic features of Belle dance in the French culture of the XVII century. The basis for the work was the book Betty Bang Mather “Dance of the French Baroque”, the content of which is still little known for domestic researchers. The authors consider the specifics of Belle dance in the interrelation of three aspects: poetic, musical and choreographic. As a result of this interaction, there are types of dance periods, types of dance figures. As well as the use of sections of musical and rhetorical disposition in the music and choreography of Belle dance. Attention is also paid to the importance of the king, the surintendant, the composer, the choreographer when creating the production of Belle dance. As musical examples, a fragment from Lully's opera “Perseus”, “La passacaille de Persée” and a fragment of Pecourt's production “La bourrée d'Achille” are used.
