A Little Night Music: Sondheim, the Romantic Classicist
No one expected this glorious, romantic-yet-modern score from Stephen Sondheim in 1973. Having just redefined the contemporary musical with scores firmly rooted in the Broadway tradition, he now offers a brilliant operetta-like “theme and variations” that reimagines and blends 18th and 19th Century classical dance forms with the warmth of late-nineteenth century Romanticism richly flavored with the irony, unexpected rhythms and expressive dissonances...

To put it simply, he’s the best lyricist the American theater has ever experienced, or will likely experience for some time to come. This lecture explores that particular aspect of his exceptional contribution to our culture, examining specific techniques,...
Music in the 1930s: A Decade of Crisis
The stock market crashed. The “Jazz Age” was over. The wild, sometimes giddy “anything goes” experimentation of the ‘20s gives way to a more introspective period of consolidation. Neo-classicism dominates the musical scene. Nationalism (in politics and in music) emerges as a prominent force as the decade proceeds and the world moves once again into crisis. Established modern composers such as Stravinsky, Ravel, Hindemith, Bartok, Copland,...
The Birth of Jazz Part II: From Swing to Bop
The “Swing Era” is that brief, remarkable period in American musical history when jazz was America’s popular music and its stars were household names—Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Bennie Goodman, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw. We’ll explore the emergence of this “swing” style along with the distinctive characteristics of the leading bands and soloists of the era.
