Description

Bele Buche e Bele Parleure by Jeannine Alton and Brian Jeffery is a manual published in 1976 y Brian Jeffery in conjunction with Jeannine Alton, a lovely lady who was his tutor in French philology when he was an undergraduate at Oxford. Brian saw that singers didn’t know what to do about the pronunciation when confronted with medieval and Renaissance French music, and did something about it.

Bele Buche e Bele Parleure shows you how to speak or sing medieval and Renaissance French. The reviewer Laurence Wright in 1978 in the review which you will find at the foot of this page hit the nail on the head when he wrote that some of the philological details are debatable (“approximate” is the word that I used) but that nevertheless “the musician can be confident that use of the book will result in a pronunciation which is perfectly defensible, and sounds convincing”. Indeed, I’m sure that it is all philologically arguable but at least this book gives you something defensible and practical to work with when you sing (or speak).

Please note: The copies which we send out are in good condition, but as they are now almost fifty years old they sometimes have slight defects.
