Heine's play ''William Ratcliff'' was used for the libretti of operas by [[César Cui]] (''[[William Ratcliff (Cui)|William Ratcliff]]'') and [[Pietro Mascagni]] (''[[Guglielmo Ratcliff]]''). [[Frank Van der Stucken]] composed a "symphonic prologue" to the same play.

In 1964, [[Gert Westphal]] and the [[Attila Zoller|Attila-Zoller]] Quartet released the vinyl "Heinrich Heine Lyrik und Jazz". In 2006 Philips/Universal launched a republication on CD.

[[Wilhelm Killmayer]] set 37 of his poems in [[Song cycles (Killmayer)|his song book]] ''{{lang|de|Heine-Lieder}}'', subtitled ''Ein Liederbuch nach Gedichten von Heinrich Heine'', in 1994.<ref name="Heine">{{cite web

[[Morton Feldman]]'s ''I Met Heine on the Rue Fürstemberg'' was inspired by a vision he had of the dead Heine as he walked through Heine's old neighborhood in Paris: "One early morning in Paris I was walking along the small street on the [[Rive Gauche|Left Bank]] where [[Eugène Delacroix|Delacroix]]'s studio is, just as it was more than a century ago. I'd read his journals, where he tells of [[Chopin]], going for a drive, the poet Heine dropping in, a refugee from Germany. Nothing had changed in the street. And I saw Heine up at the corner, walking toward me. He almost reached me. I had this intense feeling for him, you know, the Jewish exile. I saw him. Then I went back to my place and wrote my work, ''I Met Heine on the Rue Fürstemberg''."<ref>{{cite book|last=Feldman|first=Morton|author-link=Morton Feldman|editor-last=Friedman|editor-first=B.
