Throughout the twentieth century, their relation has been one of exchange and experimentation. Some poets and composers have broken with the traditional imitative connection, however, refiguring ties between verbal or musical phrases and feeling, between music and the poem. Stefano Gervasoni, to take one example has remained attentive to texts\u2019 semantic dimension. He focuses, in numerous vocal pieces, on excavating the meaning(s) of select poems to bring to light their many complexities and ambiguities. It is thus unsurprising that he has twice set Rilke\u2019s texts to music. He helps us hear what Rilke called \u201cthe melody of things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Audio recording<\/h3>\n<p>Lecture in French<br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1998-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationrilke.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/conf-p-albera-01-03-2015.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fondationrilke.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/conf-p-albera-01-03-2015.mp3\">https:\/\/fondationrilke.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/conf-p-albera-01-03-2015.mp3<\/a><\/audio><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fondationrilke.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-762 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationrilke.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur.jpg\" alt=\"Stefano Gervasoni, compositeur\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rilke1.destinazio.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/stefano-gervasoni-compositeur-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"grid col-300 fit\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"grid col-620\">\n<p><em>Philippe Alb\u00e8ra is professor of music history and theory at the Conservatoire de Lausanne and professor of aesthetics and 20th-century music theory at the Conservatoire de Gen\u00e8ve.
