This document delves deeply into six of them: the sets Three French Songs (formerly Trois Poèmes de Rimbaud, 1982) and Chants dExil (2002). The study begins with brief biographical and stylistic synopses, including an examination of the influence of Schuberts songs on Hoibys own. Subsequent chapters include discussions of the poets Arthur Rimbaud and Marcel Osterrieth, analyses of their poetry, and musical analyses of Hoiby's settings, focusing on the relationship between text and music and the composer's economical use of musical material.
