abstract:
The little song Under der linden is probably the most famous
poem of Walther von der Vogelweide’s love poetry (Minnesang). Its
echoes are widespread in medieval and modern German literature. In the
70s it was reworked by songwriters also outside Germany. This essay provides
a comparison between Walther’s medieval poem and Branduardi’s
famous song Sotto il tiglio. The version of the Italian songwriter shows the
right balance between faithful translation and innovation through the
montage-technique and the insertion of a new ending.
