Today, poetry and art music occupy similar cultural positions: each
has a tendency to be regarded as problematic, `difficult' and
therefore `elitist'. Despite this, the audiences and numbers of
participants for each are substantial: yet they tend not to
overlap. This is odd, because the forms share early history in song
and saga, and have some striking similarities, often summed up in
the word 'lyric'. These similarities include much that is most
significant to the experience of each, and so of most interest to
practitioners and audiences. They encompass, at the very least: the
way each art-form is aural, and takes place in time; a shared
reliance on temporal, rather than spatial, forms; an engagement
with sensory experience and pleasure; availability for both shared
public performance and private reading, sight-reading and hearing
in memory; and scope for non-denotative meaning. In other words,
looking at these elements in music is a way to look at them in
poetry, and vice versa. This is a study of these two formal craft
traditions that is concerned with the similarities in their roles,
structures, projects and capacities.
