Introduction<\/h1>\n

In this session we will consider poetry and poetic construction, and will aim to develop a language and framework for analysis. Basic terms of poetic analysis will be introduced, and class examples will explore different approaches to the treatment of text in music from a structural perspective. Finally, we will consider the interplay between poetic and musical structural and formal characteristics in vocal music.<\/p>\n
