Music, Poetry, and Performance in a Song by Maria Schneider
Stephen Rodgers (University of Oregon)
Volume 3.3 (December 2017)
In this video I explore the way song composers respond not just to the meanings of words but also to their sounds. Using a song from Maria Schneider’s 2013 song cycle Winter Morning Walks as a case study, I consider how a particular performance of a song and a particular performance of a poem can heighten our awareness of the connections between music and the materiality of poetry.
