Inhoud

  • Europa, who was renowned for her beauty, was the
  • daughter of the Phoenician king of Tyre, Agenor.
  • According to some myths she was the daughter of
  • Thetis, with whom Zeus was also love-struck, but
  • who resisted his advances. (see Rameau's Thétis,
  • Green Man Press, Ref Ram 2). Zeus (=Jupiter)
  • carries her off on his back to Crete, where she
  • becomes its first queen.

    The cantata, with its

  • alternation of recitative with da capo arias on
  • the Italian model, is typical of Montéclair's
  • works, and his arias, as Anthony points out,
  • generally show that he ô treated the Italian form
  • with great originalityö . The first two arias here
  • have extended A sections in three parts, with
  • repeated use of a ritornello passage, and a
  • development of the original vocal motif, which
  • exemplifies this. The first aria, marked Gay,
  • describes the descent of Jupiter, and his
  • transforming himself into the form of a bull. The
  • second, marked Gracieusement, exhorts the powers
  • that live in the seas (the Tritons and Nereids) to
  • assist and protect the lovers as they cross the
  • ocean. The connecting recitative describes
  • Europa's enticement to go with her bull. The final
  • recitative describes, with great delicacy, how
  • Europa finally succumbs to his charms. As is usual
  • in French cantatas, the final aria points the
  • 'moral'. To succeed in love, one must leave aside
  • one's elevated status - "Love and majesty do not
  • go together"!
