German Diction and Repertoire | Juilliard Extension

Embark on a captivating musical journey as we delve into the rich world of German repertoire, ranging from Lieder composers such as Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Wolf to the operatic masters Strauss, Wagner and many others. In this course, we explore a vast spectrum of German music, beginning with early German songs preceding the explosion of 19th century lieder composition and then continuing to trace its development through to the present day. Through this immersive experience, you will acquire essential skills in German phonetics (IPA) and witness how they come to life in the genre of German repertoire that resonates with you.

As the semester progresses, you will witness your growth and artistic development culminate in a class recital. This final performance, held during our last week of class, will be open to guests of students.
