     Details

This British Academy-sponsored conference brings together musicologists,
modern linguists and cultural historians to examine the work of four major
poets – the Persian Hafiz, the German Heine, the American Whitman, and the
French Verlaine – and how their verse has been set to music by a wide range
of composers. Most crucially, this conference looks at how poetry and song
exist not just within individual national traditions, but across national,
linguistic and cultural boundaries through acts of creative translation,
transposition, imitation and performance. At the heart of the conference is
an emphasis on song’s mobility and malleability – and its power to
challenge pervasive accounts of music’s role in the formation of
exclusively national cultures.
