Résumé :	Over the past forty years, the baroque cello repertoire has increasingly captured the interest of performers and scholars in the midst of the early music revival. Consequently, the musical community has witnessed the rise of an early cello canon, consisting of the music of Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, and many others. The French baroque repertoire, however, remains obscure with most musicians, as it is rarely performed or studied. One explanation for this lies in the general obscurity of many of the composers themselves. Another reason is the lack of directly related historical data, as the cello was not as highly esteemed as such instruments as the violin and the harpsichord. The eighteenth-century French cello repertoire is, nonetheless, among the most innovative and original music composed for the instrument at the time. The purpose of this thesis is to contextualize and discuss the significance of the emerging cello and its repertoire within the broader developments in French musical culture during the Baroque era. Points of interest are the historical and functional relationships of the cello to other instruments, the organological development of the cello itself, and the change of public tastes from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century. Of utmost importance is the consideration of the repertoire’s stylistic relationship to the surrounding musical climate of Paris into the eighteenth century. Upon discussion of these issues, it thus becomes clear that the French literature for the cello is significant both in the history of the instrument itself and in the history of the French baroque style.
