Addressing War?
Overview
Intro
Laments, resistance songs (e.g., those of the Italian Resistenza), and marching songs serve different functions during and after armed conflicts.
What role do songs play in war? Lamentations, songs of resistance (e.g., from the Italian Resistenza), and marching songs serve different functions during and after armed conflicts. They create different atmospheres and convey emotions in various ways.
In this workshop, we’ll explore songs from various contexts and cultures—songs sung in connection with armed conflicts or that evoke memories of them—with choir director Maayan Baram. We’ll listen to songs and discuss them before trying them out together through singing. What moods can these songs convey? And what impact can singing have in the context of war and conflict?
Participants in this workshop are invited to bring songs that remind them of war contexts. There is no expectation that participants will be able to sing these songs (aloud). The workshop will be conducted in German and English.
