Poesia hecha cancion: adaptaciones musicales de textos poeticos en España desde 1960 hasta el 2010

Gómez Sobrino, Isabel

Abstract Details

2013, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Romance Languages and Literatures.
My dissertation studies the musical adaptations of poetic texts by a group of Spanish songwriters from 1960 to 2010 such as Paco Ibañez, Joan Manuel Serrat and Amancio Prada. These musical adaptations are treated as works of new creation considering the songwriter the author or creator of these new adaptations. As a result, I establish the foundations that take place at the moment of adaptation, considering the songwriter as a reader of the primary source (the text) and as an interpreter of the same. As my study aims to point out, these adaptations are used with an ideological goal, which in the context of Franco’s Spain translates into a powerful tool to spread the ideals of democracy and freedom, as well as a vehicle for the expression and support of the rebirth of nationalisms in Spain. After Franco’s dictatorship, the songwriters contribute to the ideological agenda of memoria historica (historic memory) and the fight against forgetfulness. Simultaneously, through these adaptations these songwriters are incorporating themselves into the literary tradition by using canonical texts from different centuries as they create a new marketable product to educate and reach the masses. On the other hand, the live performance of the musical adaptations will contribute to the creation of `interpretative communities’ based on the ideological, social and cultural horizon of expectations of the audience. The dissertation examines the different `interpretative communities’ created around the fight for freedom during Franco’s Spain and/or the vindication of historic memory of those killed, exiled or forgotten during those years
