Talk:List of compositions by Vincent d'Indy

Op. 10, Plainte de Thécla
"A song after de Bonnières and Friedrich Schiller."

I am a little curious about who this Thécla may be.

Thekla is a character in Schiller's play Wallenstein which shortly hereafter becomes d'Indy's Op. 12. But there is also a poem, "Thekla: Eine Geisterstimme".

In neither case is St. Thecla involved. (Probably.) It is simply a Christian name.

And then there is Bonnières. Presumably we are setting a text based on Schiller's poem, and something from Bonnières. Varlaam (talk) 23:23, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
