Short description:
Catullus in Twentieth-Century Music reinvigorates discussions around the nature of Catullus's lyricism, centring around four musical works from the twentieth century. Stephanie Oade considers how and why musical composers used Catullus's poetry as their stimulus to uncover new ideas about Catullus's poetry.
MoreLong description:
One of the most famous voices to have survived from the Roman world, Catullus's poetry is still amongst the most popular and widely read. But what is it that makes this 2,000-year-old voice so relevant, so personal, and so endlessly fascinating? Reinvigorating discussions around the nature of Catullus's lyricism, Catullus in Twentieth-Century Music takes a completely new approach to Catullus and ideas of lyric. It centres around four musical works from the twentieth century, each one capturing the essence of Catullus in musical retellings and showcasing a very personal response to the original text. Considering how and why these musical composers used Catullus's poetry as their stimulus allows us to uncover new ideas about Catullus's poetry. By considering the very process of reception, Stephanie Oade takes a broader view of lyric, identifying traits and characteristics that are common to both music and poetry, thus transcending the boundaries of individual art forms in order to consider the genre in larger, interdisciplinary terms. It offers insights into compositional processes and challenges audiences to think about ways of engaging with music and poetry. More than anything, it shows how ancient voices continue to resound in modernity and offer everlasting expression for our own experiences and emotions.
Oade has merged close textual analysis, historicist elements, and reader-response within a positivist framework across her readings of both poetry and music in a way that is likely to stimulate further methodological exploration.
