RECLAIMING ‘ROMANTIC’: A LECTURE-RECITAL OF SONGS BY TOM CIPULLO:

Tom Cipullo is an Italian-American composer with over 100 published songs. His treatment of humor and tragedy are equally compelling, bringing his oeuvre firmly into the standard American canon. In a 20-minute lecture-recital (live performance), a brief presentation of the Dr. Benson’s research for her article “Reclaiming ‘Romantic’: The Art Songs of Tom Cipullo,” (forthcoming in the Journal of Singing) will be shared. Music examples showing stylistic trademarks will be presented, with live performances of these examples rendered by the presenters. This will be followed by a performance of 4-5 complete songs from which the examples were taken.
