- Course Description: Song Literature covers the standard repertoire for classical voice. Open to all M.M. voice majors; other students may petition to enroll with instructor approval. This course is not repeatable for credit.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: The graduate program at USF currently does not offer any courses in the field of song literature. This represents a significant weakness in the current curriculum. The addition of Song Literature is intended to address this shortcoming. Course informatio
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? All M.M. voice students at USF will be strongly encouraged to enroll in this class as an elective. Other music students that are not vocalists would also benefit from the information taught in this class.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No.
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Successful past teaching experience at the collegiate level of similar course material is a necessary qualification for the instructor. A terminal degree in voice performance or a closely related field is preferred.
- Objectives: Students will study the major composers and genres of song literature. Through lectures and supporting reading assignments, the class will cover the major composers and important works of the genre. Listening assignments will be a substantive part of the class experience.

Develop a working knowledge of the major composers of song literature.
Identify the most important works (via listening and score identification) within the genre of song literature.
Effectively articulate the major stylistic trends within the genre of song
literature from its origin to the present.
