LEC 1 MW 09:00 - 11:45 CHF 202 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.
