THMUS E528 — The Art Song: From Schubert to Rorem3 credits Spring Michelle DiBucci
Prerequisite: . Beginning with the Elizabethan lute songs of John Dowland, extending through the masters of German Lieder (e.g. Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf), and continuing through the present, this course examines the evolution of the song as an art form. Special emphasis will be given to the relationship between text and music, cultural influences, interpretation, and style. The curriculum will include general analysis, comparative analyses of settings of the same text by different composers, analysis of a song and its later arrangement as an instrumental work, and several composition assignments exploring the setting of text.
