Analysis of Music With Text

This course focuses on how to approach and analyze music with text, studying both specific repertoires and the theory behind creating meaning across two conceptual and expressive domains. To that end, the course will divide into three units corresponding to three repertoires (German Lieder, Popular and Broadway song, and religious song), outlining the normative practices of that repertoire, reading analyses of that repertoire, and studying specific pieces.
