Saber Mais Conhecer Melhor – Ciclo “Música e Poesia na Cultura Portuguesa”
Poesia e Canto entre a Ditadura e os anos da construção democrática
– Nuno Pacheco
Music and poetry are as inseparable as music and language because all languages also have their characteristic intonations - the music of language. In archaic Greek, verse was both a linguistic and a musical reality: "The Greek word had a fixed body of sound, a musical will of its own" (Georgiades). Originally, there would have been only one system of acoustic communication (Rousseau), which only later split into music and articulate language. Bringing the two together again and again, as if in the desire to recover this lost unity, has been a common feature of all cultures since time immemorial. That's why the repertoire of sung poetry is so vast, so diverse and so rich in invention - spanning historical eras and manifesting itself in multiple genres, forms and social practices.
This cycle deals with this valuable legacy in Portuguese culture.
O Ciclo decorrerá em regime online, via Zoom, e os vídeos das conferências poderão ser consultados no Youtube da Academia.
