Danish Art Songs in Danish

COURSE DESCRIPTION

We will be working with repertoire from the anthology “Danish Diction in Art Song” which contains scores, translations (lyric and word to word), IPA written directly into the scores, and biographies of the composers. The anthology is available for free online at danishdictioninartsong.dk or for purchase through the publisher.

Through the asynchronous and synchronous sessions, you will be introduced to the historical and cultural context of these Danish art songs and receive coaching in language and musical interpretation.

The course is open to singers and pianists. Knowledge of IPA is not a prerequisite.

Live sessions on March 20, April 3, April 24, May 5
