EVDOL 28 - Sondheim: Song by Song (continued)

Art Williford
The world of Stephen Sondheim is endlessly rich; this course will take a microscope to Sondheim the craftsman, one song at a time. One of Sondheim’s favorite sayings was “God is in the details,” and it is in the details that the composer’s unique fusion of storytelling and musical ingenuity can be best understood. One song at a time, [KF1] the course will examine Sondheim’s relationship to the great tradition of American songwriting as well as his profound links to classical music and opera, tracing his unparalleled ability to elucidate character and motivation through song forms. Students are welcome to request their favorite Sondheim songs for analysis and discussion.
