The course design

 I've actually been studying this stuff since 2018.  


Theoretical:  

Basics of music and song setting. For example, music is divided into phrase, and a phrase coincides with a phrase of language. Call and response.  


Historical: 

Movements in classical music that reach out to the vernacular. 

Developments in literary history that make popular poetry prestigious. 

Development of the French and Latin American song. Folk-revivals. 

Record album as unit of consumption.  


Texts

Poems by Machado, Jiménez, Lorca... etc.... 


Musicians:  

Falla, Lorca.... all the flamenco performers (Morente); all the singer-songwriters.
