Explores the history of the genre of song through a set of examples that have had enormous impact and influence, songs that have “made history.” Using songs selected by the faculty based on their expertise, this course aims to identify the social, cultural, musical, and poetic threads that have woven their way through song repertories, influencing song composition from its origins to the present day. Establishes commonalities and trends in order to understand how “song” has taken on an important cultural status that is unique to a specific time and place and is widespread, linking various songs together.
