Sébastien Michaud / « Que quelqu un leur indique l adresse d un tailleur, et ces Depeche Mode iront loin », pouvait-on lire dans les pages de l Evening Echo, à Basildon, à la fin de l année 1980... Un quart de siècle plus tard, Martin Gore, Dave Gahan et Andrew Fletcher ont non seulement donné raison à l auteur de cette remarque, mais en ont aussi profité, au passage, pour s imposer comme un des plus grands groupes de l histoire du rock anglais, écoulant au final plus de soixante-dix millions d albums à travers le monde. Un groupe d abord exclusivement tourné vers les synthétiseurs, digne héritier des Allemands de Kraftwerk, puis s inventant, sans jamais se départir de ses valeurs de base, une identité sonore unique. Survivant tour à tour aux critiques incendiaires, aux départs de ses musiciens les plus aguerris, aux overdoses et aux conflits d ego, Depeche Mode explore sans répit depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans les chapelles électro, indus, pop, rock, folk et blues, fusionnant les genres ou les redéfinissant selon ses propres critères. Le résultat ? Un nombre impressionnant de chansons immortelles, truffées de grandes mélodies et de textes à la portée universelle.

In order to help the many guitarists that are fond of the baroque music, but neither own a baroque guitar, nor baroque lute, nor a theorbe, it was necessary to write this book. The 'suite française? dances (allemande, courante, sarabande, minuet, gavotte, bourree, passacaille, chaconne, gigue?) are initialy presented in a whole, then, for each of them, we are lead to discover first the origin mostly from Renaissance, the typical rhythmic structure with its dynamic, and then, an evaluation of the most probable tempo. Some short examples (first eight bars) or some longer (first parts) allow use tu define a model for each dance, which can be linked, in the end of the book, to a 'puzzle suite?. This suite is artificially made of dances composed by different musicians: Robert de Visée, Francesco Corbetta, François Campion, Henri Grénerin, Jacques Gallot, Ludovico Roncalli, Charles Mouton, François Lecoq? Obviously, this small book, although particularly written for guitarists can be a help for any a 'grand siècle? fervent who play the harpsichord, the flute, the viola da gamba as well as for any other. / Littérature Musicale
