Le mariage de Ragonde et de Colin
ou
La Veillée de Village

Comic Opera in 3 acts
libretto by
Philippe Néricault Destouches

First performed at the
Château de Sceaux
December 1714

Act One: La soirée de village (The Village Junket)

Ragonde is an ugly old farmer's widow. At a party in the village she tells the young Colin of her love for him but Colin wants to marry her daughter, Colette, and mocks Ragonde. Lucas, who is also in love with Colette, tells the old woman how she can be revenged on Colin.

Act Two: Les lutins (The Goblins)

Colette is in love with Lucas, but their marriage is dependent on Colin becoming Ragonde's husband, otherwise Ragonde will not allow it. Colette, Lucas and his friend Thibault hatch a plot against Colin. Colette arranges an assignation with him in a wood in the dead of night. Colin arrives at the appointed place only to be terrified by "goblins" who claim to be in the service of the witch Ragonde. In reality, they are boys from the village who have been disguised by Lucas and Thibault. They make Colin promise to marry Ragonde in return for his life.

Act Three: La noce ou le charivari (The Wedding or the Charivari)

The double wedding of Colette and Lucas and Ragonde and Colin takes place. Colin is in tears until Ragonde threatens him with the goblins again. The opera ends with a charivari, noisy music to celebrate the married couples.

LP rip

I cannot remember where I found this rip (it's not my stuff) but I did laugh my heart out when I read the 3 points after letter P... to think that in Italy we could call the 2010 "l'année de les puteines..." ladies & gentlemen: bunga-bunga time!

Recorded in the '60 with modern instruments.

Johann Sigismund Kusser's music has begun to appear in the catalogues in recent years, starting with two lovely discs on the K617 and Musicaphon labels and, more recently, this CD of the first three in his set of Ouvertures "Festin des Muses" (1700) together with its vol. 2 companion disc containing nos. 4-6. It is perhaps not surprising that the Hungaroton label has taken up the cause of this fine baroque composer who was born in Hungary, trained in France under Lully and then later worked in Germany, England and Ireland.

Francis Xavier. The Route to the Orient

2 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - 3 RAR (104+108+50)

Music played a significant role in the evangelisation of the countries visited by Francis Xavier and the Jesuits usually adapted Christian texts on local melodies to maximise impact. Jordi Savall plays alonside musicians from very different cultures: Western musical heritage meets African percussions and Japanese traditional instruments.
