Castil-Blaze [Blaze, François-Henri-Joseph] (1784-1857). "d'Ama damnada. Ballada." Autograph Musical Manuscript. Folio, one page. 26 X29 cm. Neatly penned on nine lines, complete in three systems. For voice and piano. With an autograph inscription beneath: "Ecrit pour M. le baron de Girardot, par l'auteur des paroles et de la musique. / Castil-Blaze [finishing his name with a G-Clef] / Paris, le 12 mai 1850." In very fine condition.
A rare autograph manuscript of a "Ballada," originally included in the "Chants populaires de la Provence," collected and with piano accompaniment by Castil-Blaze, published in 1845. Though remembered chiefly as one of the most influential critics and librettists of the 19th century, Castil-Blaze was also an important composer and arranger. "While many of the arrangements (or ‘castilblazades’ as they were known) have since been held in contempt ...their author nursed a certain pride in them, challenging his critics to separate his additions from the originals." It is interesting to note here that while the present tune was originally published as an arrangment of a tune from Castil-Blaze's native Provence, in the note on the present manuscript, he seems himself to be confused about the origin of the tune and lyrics!
