Students are required to come up with a solid idea, question, argument based on the course theme and materials and write a 1-page outline, not including citations, quotations, or bibliography.

Using readings from the course is encouraged. There is no limit on the number of course readings or proportion of total sources for the Outline or the Final Paper. This means that you could theoretically have 5 academic works, all from the course, and another hundred media sources.

The Outline will be due on March 27, 3:30PM. The Instructor will provide written feedback for each.

Writing Assignment 5: Poetry in Romantic Songs
Descriiption
This assignment features examples of Romantic German Lieder (songs), and its counterpart the French Melodie. Setting poetry to music was very popular in the Romantic era. These types of music became pioneers for today’s popular music speaking of love, life, heartbreak, and death.
Assignment
Load https://www.resonanceschoolofmusic.com/german-lieder/
Read pages 1 and 2 of the featured article, and listen once again to the excerpt from Schubert’s “Erlkonig.”
Visit the Favorite Classical Composers website and read the article about Brahms’ “Wiegenlied” (Lullaby). Read the poetic translation; however, you will need to listen to the song here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t894eGoymio
Read the short article introducing French melodie and some of its early composers.
Listen to Berlioz’s song “Le spectre de la rose” (The Ghost of the Rose).
Listen to Berlioz’s song “Sur les lagunes” (On the Lagoons).
Use the musical examples and the articles to respond to the following prompts:
How are the lied and the melodie similar? How are they different? Which came first?
Two specific composers are mentioned in regard to developing this type of song; one German, and one French. Who are these two composers and how did their contributions to lied/melodie help to popularize the genre?
In general, what do you think about the songs presented here? Does the combination of voice and piano reflect the poetry in each different song?
In your opinion, does the piano accompaniment serve as a partner to the voice, or does it take a background position? Which seems more important to you in the delivery of the emotion the poetry describes; the piano or the voice? Or do both sounds provide an equal contribution to describing the poetic emotions?
“Erlkonig,” “Le spectre de la rose,” and “Sur les lagunes” all speak of death. Describe your impression of each song. How do you feel that the representations of death are similar and/or different? Do any of these songs give you a positive feeling?
Describe your feelings toward the Brahms “Wiegenlied.” What do you hear in the piano and voice parts? Have you heard this song before? Where and when?
Which of these songs was your favorite? Why? What makes you like or dislike this music?
Remember: Please continue to take your analysis to deeper levels. You should be building upon the ideas you have explored earlier in the course; try to tie in comparisons to other music previously explored, if relevant.
