This Master's thesis is comprised of two sections. The first one, entitled "Pontus de Tyard et les voies musicales", analyses the representation of music in two of sixteenth century French writer's " Dialogues philosophiques". Indeed, in his work, music is personified by a woman, Pasithee. Through an examination of three different aspects of the relationship between music and writing, we will attempt to grasp the mysterious link between the "Solitaire" and his muse, incarnation of music and of poetic inspiration. / The second section, "Fugue a trois voix silencieuses ", a tale in which three female characters express their "voices", as defined by the rules of harmony established by Johann Sebastian Bach, is a literary transposition of the fugue form. The fugue is a musical form in which the contrapuntal structure includes several voices that blend with and reply to each other. Similarly to a canon, the parts seem to chase within a repeated motif. The literary transposition of the fugue form was fascinating to us. Our story follows the literary tradition which draws its strength from the encounter of music and writing.
