Within classical music, much writing on the Western song tradition
since 1800 has assumed a direct link between musical cultures and
national literatures, and song has typically been interpreted as
one of the means by which constructions of nationalism and
nationhood have been pursued in the cultural sphere. Yet song can
also be a mobile and cosmopolitan genre and form of cultural
practice, able - through performance, publication, and translation
- to cross boundaries between cultures and languages. This volume
brings together musicologists, literary scholars, linguists, and
cultural historians to examine the ways in which song creation,
practice, and interpretation has been defined by, and in turn
defines, conceptions of nationalism and the transnational. It
focuses on four key poets - the Persian Hafiz, German Heine,
American Whitman, and French Verlaine - and examines how their
poems have been 'translated' into song, and how music can challenge
the seemingly organic relationship between language and nation.
