GRMUS P682 — British and American Song Literature2 credits
Spring
Lydia Brown
Prerequisite: VAMUS 561 . This performance seminar addresses stylistic trends, poetic treatment, and musical development as they relate to the writing of song in English. In-class performance and discussion will provide detailed study of individual songs as well as an introduction to the broad-based historical and literary concepts that shaped the literature. As the tradition of song craft is closely wedded to the established literary canon, time will be devoted to the study of poems from a technical point of view as they influence musical setting. Repertoire will be chosen in conjunction with each student’s studio instructor and jury requirements.
