Book Synopsis Literature and Musical Adaptation by : Michael J. Meyer
Book excerpt: It can safely be said that when literary texts are utilized or adapted by a musician to create a new work of art, it is seldom that a diminished or lessened product results. Rather, such a merging usually enlarges & enhances both text and tune. These essays offer an analysis of several adaptations, and attempt to assess just what the musicians or writers have modified or changed from to the original as they re-form it into an altogether different media.
