Poesie – Musik – Übersetzung
The translation of art songs is an attractive subject of research: their musical aesthetics unite two \"sacred originals\" - the poetry of a renowned poet's text and the melody of a respected composer. In view of the long tradition of art song in the German-speaking world, the use of German in translation practice is of particular interest. Sigmund Kvam has examined German translations of Norwegian and Danish art songs by the composer Edvard Grieg. On the basis of functional translation theory, he specifies the characteristics of this particular translation context and demonstrates the special use of linguistic rules in the translation process, focusing on text linguistics, syntax, topology, morphology and lexis. His findings are just as fruitful for linguistics and translation studies as they are for singers. The possible consequences for the singability of translated art songs are particularly relevant here.

Robert de Reims
Robert de Reims, also known as \"La Chievre de Rains,\" was among
the earliest trouvères-poet-composers who were contemporaries of
the troubadours but who wrote in the dialects of northern France.
This critical edition provides new translations into English and
modern French of all the songs and motets ascribed to him, along
with the original texts, the extant music, and a substantive
introduction.
Active sometime between 1190 and 1220, Robert was an influential
figure in the literary circles of Arras. Thirteen compositions set
to music are here attributed to him, including nine chansons and
four polyphonic motets that were broadly disseminated in the
thirteenth century and beyond. Robert's work is exceptional on a
number of fronts. He lavished particular care on the phonic harmony
of his words. Acoustic luxuriance and expertise in rhyming,
grounded in the play of echoes and variation (often extending into
the music), constitute the hallmark of his poetry. Moreover, he is
the earliest trouvère known to have composed a parodic sotte
chanson contre Amours (silly song against Love).
Located clearly at the nexus of monophonic song and polyphony,
Robert's corpus also poses the intriguing question of trouvère
participation in the development of the polyphonic repertory. The
case of Robert de Reims jostles and tempers the standard history of
the chanson and motet.
Accessible and instructive, this trilingual critical edition of
his complete works makes the oeuvre of this innovative and
consequential trouvère available in one volume for the first
time.
