This course involves a careful examination of German Art Song (Lieder) from the 18th to the 20th centuries. In surveying representative works of the major German Art Song composers, emphases are on the styles, forms, and poetry that characterize this body of music. It is designed to explore the work of established composers as well as their less-well-known contemporaries, and will focus primarily on lectures, critical listening, and in-class participation. Grades will be determined based on class participation, written work, and final recital program preparation.
Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing. Corequisite(s): Voice lessons.
