Correspondences between music and texts in French literature
Dr. Miriam Zach and Dr. Sylvie Blum are offering the following Honors course (spring 2012)
Correspondences between music and texts in French literature [sub-title] : "Textes et musiques. La littérature française à l’écoute de la musique."
The course introduces literary text and musical compositions that have been inspired and composed by major French literary writers and composers. The class goal is to stimulate an exchange between two disciplines that are not necessarily combined in the classroom. Through a selection of reading and listening, as well as analysis, the instructors will cover the correspondences between music and texts in 19th and 20th century France. Several genres will be covered: In literature, poetry, theatre, short novel, and novel, in music: opera, ballet, songs, piano solo and jazz.
