Form, Program, and Metaphor in the Music of Berlioz - Rodgers, Stephen (Assistant Professor of Music Theory, University of Oregon)

Berlioz was a pioneer in the genre of 'program music' - music that draws its inspiration from the world of literature, theatre, and other arts. This book explores how Berlioz's music is related to the stories it conveys, demonstrating how he manipulated musical forms to depict emotions such as madness or love.
