Jacques de Saint-Luc : Entre la France et le Saint-Empire
Résumé
The name of Saint-Luc has sown much confusion in its wake and the data transmitted in the standard biograhical sources are dubious on some points. It seems little plausible that Jacques de Saint-Luc, the prominent French lutenist and composer of lute music, spent the years 1700-08 as an active professional in Vienna, when he would have been in his eighties; these activities may belong instead to one of his two sons, Jacques-Alexandre and Laurent. The principal tablature sources for Jacques de Saint-Luc are compared: A-Wn MS S.m.1586 and CZ-Puk MS X.Lb.210. Correspondence between Jacques de Saint-Luc and Constantin Huygens, the celebrated Dutch humanist and poet who was a passionate amateur lutenist, is presented. Jacques de Saint-Luc's lute music, like that of other late-17th-c. French composers, is grouped into suites, but unlike the others, Saint-Luc retained a certain allegiance to the style brisé [RILM 1999-37266]
De nombreux éléments de l'historiographie de Saint-Luc sont source de confusion. Pour y voir plus clair, il est nécessaire de reprendre un à un tous les documents et sources qui citent le nom de Saint-Luc pour tenter de retracer la carrière de ce luthiste ou de ces luthistes et proposer une attribution à l'un ou à l'un et l'autre des pièces qui sont conservées dans les quelques manuscrits et éditions.
