Camargo Lyonois Thierry Dazenoncourt Sauvage Beaufort and Briseval; Mrs. Dupré Dumay Matignon Hamoche and Caillé; Monsieurs Tessier and Levoir "Although not prolific Montéclair wrote in most of the genres cultivated during the early 18th century in France excepting only the keyboard. He was one of the most versatile of the generation between Lully's death 1687 and Rameau's advent as a stage composer 1733; composers of this 'préramiste' period are often described as 'imitators of Lully' but Montéclair and Campra are among those who influenced Rameau's dramatic music. In his stage works Montéclair was particularly sensitive to the dramatic function of orchestral colour. His operatic scores are much clearer than those of his contemporaries in giving directions for specific instruments like the off-stage horns 'played very softly to simulate the hunt in the distance' in the second entrée of Les festes de l'été Montéclair added that 'if no cors de chasse are available oboes and violins may play the following and remain in the orchestra'. In the same work a 'Prélude à trois basses' introduces the first scene of the third entrée where the main roles are sung by basses; the prelude to the second scene whose main roles are sung by sopranos is scored for violins and violas without continuo. The parts enter in reverse order and the melodic material is derived from the earlier prelude ex.1. Les festes de l'été and Jephté both contain an a cappella chorus and the former has a large-scale double chorus - an operatic counterpart to the choruses in Lalande's grands motets." James R.
