Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the textual network used in her works by the Argentinean-Uruguayan composer Graciela Paraskevaídis (1940-2017). From her wide universe of readings, she selects texts by German, Spanish and Latin American poets and writers, as well as fragments of the Bible, popular songs and political speeches. They are resignified in the pieces that include them in different ways, from recitation to traditional singing and contemporary modes of emission, or as titles of instrumental creations. This contribution concludes with reflections on the relationship between text and music in this set of works.
