Resumen

This paper analyzes the transfer of poetic language into music, focusing on Edgar Allan Poe’s celebrated poem “The Raven” (1845), which proves to be an interesting case study due to its enduring presence in music in its many different genres. For that purpose, I examine different pieces of music directly inspired by Poe’s lines, all of them ranging from different music genres, analyzing the literary and musical devices and how they are employed. These musicians and composers re-present Poe’s “The Raven” by using musical devices similar to those employed by Poe in this poem in their attempt to appropriate and reinterpret the poet’s words.
