Solo voices, SATB chorus, orchestra (Soprano solo (2), Tenor solo (3), Baritone solo (2), Mixed choir (SATB), Ballet, Orchestra) SKU: BA.BA08870-01 Comédie-ballet in three acts. Composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Edited by Thomas Soury. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Jean-Philippe Rameau. Opera Omnia (OOR) IV/28. Complete edition, Score. RCT 51. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08870_01. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08870-01). ISBN 9790006567546. 33.5 x 25.5 cm inches. Text Language: French. Preface: Sylvie Bouissou. Text: Duplat de Monticourt, Pierre-Jacques. Les Paladinswas Rameau's last work premiered at the Academie royale de musique in 1760. Sharply criticized on account of its overtly comical libretto, the work was withdrawn after fifteen performances and was thus one of the most stinging failures in the composer's career. Seen from today's perspective, the public reception is hardly comprehensible for such an inventive work. Radically rejuvenating his writing, Rameau displays a youthful, playful personality, miles away from the critics reproaching him for being nothing but an old man in his dotage. One ban barely imagine such a work coming from the pen of a septuagenarian!
Rameau did not prepare the work for publication, and theOEuvres completesunder Camille Saint-Saens's general editorship did not include the work in the collection issued by Durand. The present volume ofOpera omnia Rameauis thus the first edition of Les Paladins.

Orchestra (Flutes (2) (Picc), Oboes (2), 2Musettes, Bassoons (2), Horns (2), Strings, Basso continuo) SKU: BA.BA08893 Comédie-ballet in three Acts. Composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Edited by Thomas Soury. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Symphonies. Score, anthology. RCT 51. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08893_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08893). ISBN 9790006567560. 33 x 24.3 cm inches. Text: Duplat de Monticourt, Pierre-Jacques. This edition unites all the purely instrumental parts of Rameau’s comdie-ballet “Les Paladins†for performance as a suite in the concert hall.
In view of the wealth of the work’s musical treasures and the stylistic innovations – similar to the “Borades†– the rather frosty reception of the premiere series in the spring of 1760 seems completely incomprehensible to us today. It led to this stage work not being performed again until well into the 20th century. The story that the comdie-ballet tells is based on a fable by La Fontaine, “Le Petit chien qui secoue de l’argent et des pierreries†(i.e. “The little dog who shakes silver and stonesâ€Â). In medieval Veneto, the guardian Anselme undermines the love affairs of his ward Argies. Scenes of tragic expression are contrasted with folk-comic ones; and last but not least, the sexually ambiguous fairy Manto may have caused difficulties for the bold work at the Paris Opra.
This critical edition is based on the corresponding volume issued in the series “Opera omnia Rameau†(BA 8870-01). Since “Les Paladins†remained unpublished during Rameau’s lifetime and was also not included in the “Œuvres complètesâ€Â, this is the first edition of the work. It satisfies both scholarly demand and the practical needs of musicians.
The orchestral parts are available on hire.
