| Abstract | Jean-Baptiste Lully, the Italian who created French opera and maintained a monopoly on it even after he died, exerted more influence by far than any other French composer of the seventeenth century. His works circulated throughout Europe in printed and manuscript form, as complete works, as individual pieces gathered together in popular collections of "favorite airs," and as suites of dance tunes arranged for harpsichord or chamber ensemble. It is the sheer number of unidentified fragments from Lully's output, and the variety and geographical dispersal of the sources in which they are found, that create the need for a thematic locator. This catalog is a listing of all of the themes found in Herbert Schneider's Chronologisch-thematisches Verzeichnis sämtlicher Werke von Jean-Baptiste Lully (LWV). The "locator" provides access to this catalog via melodic incipits. Each entry consists of a numerical representation of the theme, an indication of its meter and key, and its LWV number. |
