57 dolphin is contrasted with Poulenc’s animated, lively sea creature; Poulenc’s dromedary trudges along, while Durey’s has a hop in its step. The musical settings of Le Bestiaire serve to supplement the poem and woodcuts. With the three aspects combined—music, poem, and woodcut—the audience can effectively picture Apollinaire’s procession of animals. I believe the composers’ unique compositional qualities and musical influences provided for creative settings of the poetry that reflect their individual interpretations of Apollinaire’s text. With that being said, I believe Durey’s six common settings are certainly on the same quality level as Poulenc’s and should also be regarded as a significant contribution to the French mélodie genre.
