| | | | | | Notes: This course looks at music and poetry from the troubadours through Bjork, including singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Leonard Cohen, plus some more contemporary people like Rufus Wainwright and Ryan Adams. Those songs would be paired with songs that are thematically/lyrically linked to older traditions of solo singing to try to create bridges between new and older repertoire, and to include some rather robust close readings of song lyrics. | |

The course will include an examination of the instrument's earliest predecessors from antiquity and the Middle Ages, through its first appearance in printed tablature collections of the Renaissance to its ubiquitous position today. Discussions will centre on a survey of a wide range of music for the guitar and its various permutations and will include analyses and discussions of these works. Lectures will be supplemented with sound recordings, video, and live performances. | |
