A song cycle for baritone and mixed chamber ensemble, "Songs about Words" consists of five songs for everyday concepts and subjects, and explores deeper themes of communication and identity. The ensemble consists of piano, accordion, tenor saxophone, percussion and double bass. The text was inspired by Pablo Neruda and written by the composer.

Even the title Residencia en la tierra, one of the early masterworks of Chilean Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, suggests a subject who stands alone in a world that is his by happenstance, in which he does not permanently dwell and to which he does not naturally belong. Stylistically and politically, too, among Neruda’s work Residencia seems to stand alone. Before Residencia, Neruda’s poetry was deeply personal and, compared to what came later, profoundly standard for its time and place; after the Residencia poems were completed—though before they had all been published— Neruda’s poetry would take a turn for the political that would remain with him more or less for the duration of his career. Indeed, the series presents a paradox for critics: a pivotal moment in his poetic development—what Emir Rodríguez Monegal calls Neruda’s first truly creative work—but also a work seemingly out of sync with Neruda’s later writings and vehemently rejected by the author himself only a few years after its publication. In sum, it is a work that refuses equally to be incorporated or to be ignored. This essay will attempt to carve out a more stable place for Residencia en la tierra in the critical understanding of Neruda’s poetic trajectory precisely by returning it to the place of its genesis. By retracing Neruda’s experiences in South Asia during his sojourn in Burma [Myanmar] and Ceylon [Sri Lanka] as a diplomat in the laste 1920s, the place where the enduring symbolism and ethical framework of the Residencia series were born, I will suggest new modes of reading Residencia that shed light on both why this book is so different from his others and the ways in which they are profoundly linked. / text

O livro Canto general, de Pablo Neruda, é uma das mais importantes obras poéticas do século XX. Escrito em plena Guerra Fria, almeja abordar a totalidade do continente americano sob a égide do engajamento político de seu autor, importante militante do Partido Comunista à época da composição da obra. Este trabalho pretende discutir as escolhas feitas pelo autor quanto à politização de sua poesia e suas consequências estéticas e políticas, com particular interesse no processo de mitificação da História e das lutas sociais operado por Neruda em seu livro. Para tanto, a análise dos poemas busca integrar em uma só leitura a ponderação dos elementos míticos mobilizados pelo autor e sua interação com a mensagem ideológica e política explícita na obra, caracterizando o conjunto de Canto general como um exemplo de arte de intervenção. A análise se completa na leitura de Alturas de Macchu Picchu, principal conjunto de poemas do livro e considerado a melhor chave para entender a particular conjunção entre mito e política na obra do poeta chileno. / Pablo Nerudas Canto General is one of the most important poetic works of the twentieth century. Written during the Cold War, aims to cover the entirety of the American Continent under the influence of the political engagement of its author, who was an important member of the Communist Party at the time of the works composition. This dissertation discusses the choices made by the author regarding the politicization of his poetry and its aesthetic and political consequences, with particular interest in the mythologizing of history and of social struggles operated by Neruda in his book. For this purpose, the analysis of poems seeks to integrate into the reading the reflection about mythical elements mobilized by the author and his interaction with the ideological and political message explicit in the work, characterizing Canto General as an example of interventionist art. The analysis is completed with the reading of The Heights of Macchu Picchu, the main section of poems in the book, considered by many the best key to understand the particular conjunction between myth and politics in the work of the Chilean poet.

Ce travail est de une tentative de réponse à la question cruciale formulée en son temps par Paul Valéry : « mais au fait, qui parle dans un poème ? », à partir d’une étude audio-critique de la trajectoire complète de Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Quarante-trois recueils et plus de cinq cents poèmes seront ainsi convoqués au cours de cette thèse dont le point de départ est le suivant : s’il est communément admis que la voix, en poésie, est un indescriptible inaudible qui est et n’est pas, la voix nérudienne propose elle une évolution cohérente vers une plus grande sonorité. La voix nérudienne est bien un effet de présence issu d’une absence. Elle est bien dotée d’inflexions dont les silences a priori sonores dessinent un ontorythme qui en ferait une voix presque humaine. / This dissertation is an attempt at answering a crucial question that Paul Valéry once asked: “by the way, who is speaking in a poem?” This study is based the complete works of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) analysed from an audio-critical point of view, with forty-three collections of poems under scrutiny. The assumption at the core of this dissertation is that, although it is generally defined as something indescribable and inaudible that is and is not that the same time, the nerudian voice offers a coherent evolution towards more perceptible sonority, a more perceptible sound pattern. The nerudian voice is indeed a form of presence resulting from absence. It is endowed with inflections and a priori audible silent moments that create an ontorhythm, turning it into an almost human voice. Like the human voice, the poematic voice went through a series of evolutions and mutations that need to be reflected upon.
