classical music
Literature and music have been closely linked since the very beginnings of written form. Part of ancient Greek drama was sung, and composers like Claudio Monteverdi, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and Richard Wagner sought to theorize and implement a new way of combining them. Literature, too, has always drawn upon music, from the Aoidoi (saints) to contemporary authors. Using examples from the musical repertoire and the literary canon, Nicolas Dufetel, a 19th-century specialist in Franz Liszt and Wagner, a musicologist and research fellow at the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research) who teaches music history and the links between music and literature at the Catholic University of the West (Angers), will explore the elective affinities between music and literature. The lecture will be illustrated with examples from Aeschylus and Tasso to Marcel Proust, and from Monteverdi to Wagner, a composer who wanted to be the poet of his music and the musician of his poetry.
