The Music of Flamenco

A study of the musical aspects (cante-singing and
toque-guitar playing) in Flamenco through
listening, reading and watching documentary
films. We will look at the structure of many
Flamenco forms (ie. Seguiriyas, Solea, Bulerias,
Tangos, etc.), discuss the subject matter of the
poetry used in those forms and become acquainted
with the work of the most important artists,
including both historical figures and
contemporary masters. Although knowledge of
music theory may be helpful, it is not required
to attend and enjoy this class.
