In the 1920s several composers were influenced by Surrealism, or by individuals in the Surrealist movement. Among them were [[Bohuslav Martinů]], [[André Souris]], [[Erik Satie]],<ref>{{Cite book|last=Potter|first=Caroline|title=Erik Satie: a Parisian Composer and his World|publisher=Boydell and Brewer|year=2016}}</ref> [[Francis Poulenc]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Donaldson|first=James|date=2020|title=Reading the Musical Surreal through Poulenc's Fifth Relations|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/twentieth-century-music/article/abs/reading-the-musical-surreal-through-poulencs-fifth-relations/B3BCE174DEAA32D2398FA0D639A871D9|journal=Twentieth-Century Music|volume=17/2|issue=2|pages=127–160|doi=10.1017/S147857222000002X|s2cid=216261062}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Albright|first=Daniel|title=Untwisting the Serpent: Modernism in Music, Literature, and Other Arts|publisher=University of Chicago Press|year=2000|location=Chicago}}</ref> and [[Edgard Varèse]], who stated that his work ''Arcana'' was drawn from a dream sequence.<ref>{{cite web|author=Bernard, Jonathan W|title=Edgard Varése's "Arcana"|website=American Symphony Orchestra|url=http://americansymphony.org/arcana/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170214181019/http://americansymphony.org/arcana/ |archive-date=2017-02-14 }}</ref> Souris in particular was associated with the movement: he had a long relationship with Magritte, and worked on [[Paul Nougé]]'s publication ''Adieu Marie''. Music by composers from across the twentieth century have been associated with surrealist principles, including [[Pierre Boulez]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Potter|first=Caroline|date=2018|title=Pierre Boulez, Surrealist|url=http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/spazidellamusica/article/view/2997|journal=Gli Spazi della Musica|volume=7}}</ref> [[György Ligeti]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Everett|first=Yayoi Uno|date=2009|title=Signification ofParody and the Grotesque in György Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre|journal=Music Theory Spectrum|volume=31/1|pages=26–56|doi=10.1525/mts.2009.31.1.26}}</ref> [[Mauricio Kagel]], [[Olivier Messiaen]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sholl|first=Robert|date=2007|title=Love, Mad Love and the "Point sublime": The Surrealist Poetics of Messiaen's Harawi|journal=Messiaen Studies|pages=34–62}}</ref> and [[Thomas Adès]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Massey|first=Drew|date=2018|title=Thomas Adès and the Dilemmas of Musical Surrealism|url=http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/spazidellamusica/article/view/2998|journal=Gli Spazi della Musica|volume=7}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Taruskin|first=Richard|date=1999|title=A Surrealist Composer comes to the Rescue of Modernism|work=The New York Times}}</ref>

[[Germaine Tailleferre]] of the French group [[Les Six]] wrote several works which could be considered to be inspired by Surrealism,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Heel |first=Kiri Louise |last2= |first2= |date=2011 |title=Germaine Tailleferre beyond les six, gynocentrism and le marchand d'oiseaux and the six chansons françaises |url=https://purl.stanford.edu/zm744rm1270 |journal=Stanford University, Department of Music |type=Theses |language=en}}</ref> including the 1948 ballet ''Paris-Magie'' (scenario by [[Lise Deharme]]), the operas ''La Petite Sirène'' (book by Philippe Soupault) and ''Le Maître'' (book by Eugène Ionesco).<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=V-bSDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT467 Robert Shapiro, ''Les Six: The French Composers and Their Mentors Jean Cocteau and Erik Satie''.] London: Peter Owen, 2014. 467. {{ISBN|978-0-7206-1774-0}}</ref> Tailleferre also wrote popular songs to texts by Claude Marci, the wife of Henri Jeanson, whose portrait had been painted by Magritte in the 1930s.

Even though Breton by 1946 responded rather negatively to the subject of music with his essay ''Silence is Golden'', later Surrealists, such as [[Paul Garon]], have been interested in—and found parallels to—Surrealism in the improvisation of [[jazz]] and the [[blues]]. Jazz and blues musicians have occasionally reciprocated this interest. For example, the [[1976 World Surrealist Exhibition]] included performances by [[David "Honeyboy" Edwards]].
