A History of the Lyric explores the fundamental impact radio and recording had on songwriting, the sometimes fraught link between poetry and song, the development of the lyric in the 20th century and asks the question: where do we go from here? We will also explore various approaches to songwriting and examine various songs and the techniques/motifs used. Participants are welcome to bring their own lyrics/songs to workshop.
