Joyeux anniversaire, #CharlesBaudelaire ! 200 years after his birth, he remains an important (if not the most important) figure from 19th-century French literature. What are some of your favourite Baudelaire moments? And remember : « enivrez-vous ! »

Bon anniversaire #Baudelaire200! Des suggestions pour accompagner les recherches en cours sur Baudelaire mis en musique dans le cadre du magnifique projet TheBaudelaireProject?

Quite a lot of the songs in our database are not in the public domain / no recordings exist but it’s just great to know things *are* there and we can get hold of them (spending ££ on art/music is good and necessary - as Baudelaire himself was all too aware!)

Thanks Petroc Trelawny and Michael Rossi for featuring our project on BBC Radio 3 Breakfast this morning with a trio of Baudelaire song. If you missed it, catch up here (from 1’05) for a dose of Cressonnois, Rollinat, & Gainsbourg #Baudelaire200 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Helen Abbott researches French song. What happens to the French language when sung? Analysis of sung French from the @BaudelaireProj Song Project shows song to be a network of interrelations between words and music, rather than a simple fusion of the two.

Audio play about the 1857 trial of Baudelaire's Fleurs du mal for immorality, with some commentary. Entertaining and lively if sometimes a bit broad-brush. #frenchpodcast Maria Scott Helen Abbott #Baudelaire franceinter.fr/emissions/auta…

Monsieur Baudelaire, l’Occident a dominé le monde, mais, en retour, sans conquêtes, sans violences, le monde l’a enveloppé. Vous pouvez donc, enfin, venir à nous, dans ce mouvement où nous venons vers vous. #Baudelaire #jazz

Well this looks exciting! Baudelaire and Jazz? Helen Abbott and TheBaudelaireProject must be waiting breathlessly for this to come out!

Headphones are out. Desk is covered in blanket and cushions. This can only mean one thing: time for the makeshift home recording studio to fire up once again for an interview on Baudelaire in indie/alternative music. TheBaudelaireProject
