Learning objectives
The course aims to teach how to analyze to texts written in Italian language intended for music. In particular, we want to deepen the opera librettos' history by following their poetic and literary evolution in connection with the more general history of the Italian language. The cours aims also to make students understand how this kind of linguistic analysis also applies to other musical genres such as songs and musicals. By frequenting the lessons participants will learn to face and read texts for music with greater awareness.
Expected learning outcomes
Students must be able to analyze a text for music written in Italian language by framing it historically and stylistically in relation to its author and the artistic and cultural context of its composition. Consequently, students must be able to identify and describe the metric, syntactic, morphological, lexical and rhetorical phenomena of the texts analyzed in class or proposed in the study bibliography; this bibliography must therefore be well known by both attending and non-attending students.
Single course

This course can be attended as a single course.
