Les amours (English spelling)

...Especially in the latter half of the 16th century, the rise of the Pleyades (Poetic School), which looked to classical Greek and Latin poetry as a model and advocated the creation of a rich new French language, led to the promotion of a close union between poetry and music. The leader of this school, Ronsard, repeatedly preached that poetry should originally be sung, and at the end of his collection of love poems, Les amours (1552), he included examples of compositions by Janequin and others, classifying each of the poems in the collection as being able to be sung according to one of the examples. In addition, the Académie de Poésie et de Musique, which was founded in 1570 by J. A. Baif, a member of the same school, with the royal permission of Charles IX and the musician Joachim Thibault de Courville (?-1581), attempted to create metrical music, which attempted to transfer long and short syllables directly to long and short notes following the method of classical poetry. ...

From Ronsard

…In other words, he rejected the conventional and restrictive forms of medieval rondeaus and ballads, and instead sang freely and diversely about life, nature, mythology, and history in a simple poetic form modeled on Pindar and Horace. In his “Les amours” (1552), he expressed his feelings for a real woman named Cassandre in Petrarchan-style sonnets. In his “Continued Love Poems” (1555-56), he sang plainly and simply about his love for a woman named Marie.

…とりわけ16世紀後半に入って,ギリシア・ラテンの古典詩に範を求め,豊かなフランス語の新生を理想に掲げるプレイヤード(詩派)の台頭により,詩と音楽の緊密な結合が謳われるようになる。一派の領袖ロンサールは,本来,詩が歌われるべきものであることを繰り返し説き,自らの《恋愛詩集Les amours》(1552)巻末にジャヌカンらによる作曲の実例を添え,収録の全詩がその実例のいずれかに則して歌えることを示し,分類している。また,同派のJ.A.deバイフが1570年にシャルル9世の勅許を得て音楽家クールビルJoachim Thibault de Courville(?‐1581)とともに創設した〈詩と音楽のアカデミーAcadémie de Poésie et de Musique〉では,古典詩法にならって音節の長短をそのまま長短の音符に移そうとする〈韻律音楽musique mesurée à l’antique〉の試みがなされた。…

【ロンサール】より

…すなわち中世のロンドーrondeau,バラードなどの常套的な規制の多い形式を排してピンダロス,ホラティウスに範をとった簡明な詩型によって人生,自然,神話,歴史を多様かつ自由に歌う。また《恋愛詩集Les amours》(1552)では,ペトラルカ風の十四行詩(ソネ)によって実在の女性カッサンドルへの感情を表現する。《続恋愛詩集》(1555‐56)ではマリーという女性への愛を平明素朴に歌う。…
