The Discussion Assignment
In Chapter 14, your textbook likens the early songs of troubadours and trouveres (the earliest written record of secular music!) to modern singer-songwriters. They generated a long tradition of folk, classical and popular musical traditions, which all deal with the relationship of song text (poetry) and melody. List an example of a song performed by a contemporary popular musical artist, in one of your favorite popular genres. How does your example relate to the formal structures discussed in Chapters 6 & 8? How does the vocalist change their delivery throughout the song, to include musical elements such as melody, dynamics, timbre, instrumentation, etc. How does the delivery help to effectively set the text in each stanza, and how does it impact the overall story conveyed in the song? Please include a general overview of the structure of the song you have selected, in addition to answering the questions above.
