This subject introduces students to Italian lyric repertoire from the classical vocal tradition, focussing on musical and textual analysis, performance practice and interpretation.
Students analyse texts and scores of Italian art song and recitative in their historical, musical and literary contexts. A strong practical component enables students to apply analytical skills to performance and to develop stylistically authentic and effective interpretations.
Coaching and peer interactions establish a positive and collaborative ensemble environment.
