Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the formative principles employed in Songs of Wars I have seen, a staged concert by the German composer Heiner Goebbels, grounded in the book Wars I Have Seen by the American writer Gertrude Stein. Goebbels’ work appropriates elements of Steins’s text on several levels, such as thematic and textual, as well as structural and formal. It also engages them at the level of global aesthetics and the formal principles that reflect Stein’s overall artistic ideology. Therefore, Songs of Wars I have seen can be interpreted as a platform for a multi-layered anachronic dialogue between the two artists.
