About
"The characteristics described above, however, apply not only to the text and music, but to the performing style as well. The importance of diction in singing is an important topic in Bénigne de Bacilly’s ‘Remarques curieuses sur l’art de bien chanter’ (1668): he devotes no fewer than 186 pages to the subject. The language used in singing is different than that used in speaking. In order to be expressive, a singer, according to Bacilly, cannot neglect a single syllable. Bacilly uses the term style galant when he speaks of the relationship between expression and lightness. To illustrate this, he makes reference, among others, to the ‘Airs’ of Michel Lambert, the most important composer of the ‘Air sérieux’ at that time. Lambert’s Airs, some 330 of them, formed the core of the ‘précieux’ literary Salons in Paris, inseparably associated with the ‘Esprit Galant’ which set the tone there." - liner notes by Fred Jacobs
