2. Intermediality

 

            b) Lyric and Meaning in Music

 

Music is a cultural phenomenon of great complexity. If we look at the tango as a representative genre, for example, we can see that it comprehends poetry, music and dance all in one. Of the three manifestations of tango, Claudio Cifuentes-Aldunate finds that its poetry is of special interest

     Recently he has been focusing on poetry in tango. Special attention has been directed to some of the particular “semas” that concentrate around the isotopy of melancholy.

     The result of this combination (dance, music and poetry) constructs the paradox which rests in “dancing the sadness” of life.

     Claudio Cifuentes-Aldunate's current and research on these forms of intermediality investigates the way that music informs literary texts and literary texts inform music.
