Artists have a lot in common:
- Special purpose: the revelation of values
- Must use some kind of medium – stuff that can be formed to reveal content
- In forming their media, all artists use similar principles of composition
- Relationships of part to whole
- Balance
- Contrast
- Repetition
Music interprets poetry
Die Erlkonig = The Elf-King
Poem by J.W. Goethe, 1782
- based on German folktale
Music by Franz Schubert, 1815

Why do interrelationships occur?
- Artists become inspired by another’s work
- Each medium brings its own strengths to the subject matter
- Different media reveal meaning in different ways – for example:
- “Music sounds the way feelings feel.”
