The case studies focus on Baudelaire song sets by European composers between 1880 and 1930, specifically Maurice Rollinat, Gustave Charpentier, Alexander Gretchaninov, Louis Vierne, and Alban Berg. Using this corpus, it tests out the assemblage model to uncover what happens to Baudelaire's poetry when it is set to music. It factors in the realities of song as a live performance genre, and reveals which parameters of song emerge as standard for French text-setting, and where composers diverge in their approach."--Back cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Baudelaire, Charles, 1821-1867 -- Musical settings Baudelaire, Charles, 1821-1867 -- Music Baudelaire, Charles, 1821-1867 -- Criticism and interpretation SUBJECT Baudelaire, Charles, 1821-1867 fast Subject French poetry -- 19th century -- History and criticism Music and literature -- France -- History -- 19th century Musicology. musicology.
