Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France is written by Kate van Orden and published by University of Chicago Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0226849767 (ISBN 10) and 9780226849768 (ISBN 13).
Examines noble education in the arts to show how music contributed to cultural and social transformation in early modern French society. Van Orden constructs a fresh account of music's importance in promoting the absolutism that the French monarchy would fully embrace under Louis XIV, uncovering many hitherto unpublished ballets and royal ceremonial performances. The great pressure on French noblemen to take up the life of the warrior gave rise to bellicose art forms such as sword dances and equestrian ballets.
