Geldenhuys, Daniël G. 2004. Translation in melodrama and the meaning of text. In Marshall, Gottfried R. La traduction des livrets: aspects théoriques, historiques et pragmatiques [Translating librettos: theoretical, historical and pragmatic aspects]. Paris: PUPS. pp. 65–79.
Abstract
The author looks at text as music at the same time as music comprises different texts. The function and reception of the musical text is also analysed. The author proposes a list of actors involved in the process of giving meaning to the musical text: The writer of the libretto, the music composer, the performer, and the audience all are responsible and creators of a meaning, which may or not coincide in the same representation.
