Sarabande and Bourrée-Robert de Visée (ca 1650/1665-after 1732) By Estelle Bertrand. In D minor, this sarabande and bourrée by Robert de Visée was used for the music of the film "Jeux Interdits" (1952) by René Clément. The sarabande, a slow and noble dance in three time, is played by accentuating the 2nd beat, that is to say, in our score, where the three-note chords are found. The démanchés are numerous and quite perilous, and the objective will be to not break the continuity of the melody. Thinking of this music harmonically will facilitate its understanding. The lively tempo of the bourrée and its more joyful character contrast with the seriousness of the sarabande. For more lightness, it is strongly recommended to think of the battue in the half note. Perfect conduction of the two (episodic three) voices will be the key to a successful interpretation. To do this, don't hesitate to play each voice separately before superimposing them. Another exercise is to sing one while playing the other on the guitar... Difficult but very educational.
