Lied? Mélodie? Canzona? A weekend of German, French and Italian art songs.
How do composers illuminate text and make a real marriage – or a very civil partnership – between words and music? We will make foreign language less foreign by exploring the meaning of the text itself and considering how words and music interact. Guaranteed enlightenment – guaranteed fun!
