Abstract

This article looks at the presence of the Revue de musicologie in scholarship in the UK over the century. Britain has had a long fascination with French music, with certain prominent musicologists and critics participating and collaborating in the efforts to promote French music in the UK from the end of the Great War until the present day. The article compares the establishment of musicology as a discipline in both countries and the roles of the Royal Musical Association (RMA) and the Société française de musicologie (SFM) in this process. It also considers British scholarship on key French topics and individual composers, such as Berlioz, Debussy and Messiaen and its visibility in the Revue de musicologie. It explores themes of national versus international perspectives, generational change and cross-Channel collaboration on musicological projects.
