  • HEINE, HÖLDERLIN, and GOETHE in the MUSIC of HANNS EISLER Heidi Hart a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty
    CONTRARY VOICES: HEINE, HÖLDERLIN, AND GOETHE IN THE MUSIC OF HANNS EISLER Heidi Hart A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Carolina- Duke Graduate Program in German Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Thomas Pfau Bryan Gilliam Eric Downing Gabriel Trop Lawrence Kramer Jørgen Bruhn © 2016 Heidi Hart ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Heidi Hart: Contrary Voices: Heine, Hölderlin, and Goethe in the Music of Hanns Eisler (Under the direction of Thomas Pfau) Contrary Voices examines composer Hanns Eisler’s settings of nineteenth-century poetry under changing political pressures from 1925 to 1962. The poets’ ideologically fraught reception histories, both under Nazism and in East Germany, led Eisler to intervene in this reception and voice dissent by radically fragmenting the texts. His musical settings both absorb and disturb the charisma of nineteenth-century sound materials, through formal parody, dissonance, and interruption. Eisler’s montage-like work foregrounds the difficult position of a modernist artist speaking both to and against political demands placed on art. Often the very charisma the composer seeks to expose for its power to sway the body politic exerts a force of its own. At the same time, his text-settings resist ideological rigidity in their polyphonic play. A dialogic approach to musical adaptation shows that, as Eisler seeks to resignify Heine’s problematic status in the Weimar Republic, Hölderlin’s appropriation under Nazism, and Goethe’s status as a nationalist symbol in the nascent German Democratic Republic, his music invests these poetic voices with surprising fragility and multivalence.

Edited by Jürgen Thym Luca Lombardi – Baden-Baden: Koerner 2006 (Sammlung musikwissenschaftlicher Abhandlungen 97) ISBN 3-87320-597-1 ISSN 0085-588x Photograph of Luca Lombardi: © Roberto Masotti Alle Rechte vorbehalten © 2006 Printed in Germany Luca Lombardi is an important composer of our time and also an important thinker in matters musical, especially when it comes to issues involving the often tricky relations between music and society. For that reason I salute the publication at hand that makes Lombardi’s widely-scattered writings available, at least in form of a selection, in one volume: not only in trans- lations in English but, in the appendix, also in their Italian and German originals. What wealth (and also what clarity) of thoughts and insights during difficult and critical decades—years that witnessed developments and paradigm shifts of historical significance, both politically and musically. I admire the intellectual honesty as much as the consistency of thought that manifests itself in the texts: Lombardi is an author who remains faithful to himself, even (or precisely) when he considers it necessary to revise earlier opinions. As in his music, he formulates his positions with precision, poignancy, and wit—in that respect he is the heir to the classical tradition of his native land with which he grew up.
