Since its emergence in sixteenth-century Germany, the magician Faust''s quest has become one of the most profound themes in Western history. Though variants are found across all media, few adaptations have met with greater acclaim than in music. Bringing together more than two dozen authors ina foundational volume, The Oxford Handbook of Faust in Music testifies to the spectacular impact the Faust theme has exerted over the centuries. The Handbook''s three-part organization enables readers to follow the evolution of Faust in music across time and stylistic periods. Part I exploressymphonic, choral, chamber, and solo Faust works by composers from Beethoven to Schnittke. Part II discusses the range of Faustian operas, and Part III examines Faust''s presence in ballet and musical theater. Illustrating the interdisciplinary relationships between music and literature and thefascinating tapestry of intertextual relationships among the works of Faustian music themselves, the volume suggests that rather than merely retelling the story of Faust, these musical compositions contribute significant insights on the tale and its unrivalled cultural impact.
