Student-Teacher Dialogues from a Master Class
by Cloret Richardson
In May 1996, this writer enjoyed the opportunity of attending a series of master classes on vocal music featuring master musicians William Warfield, George Shirley, Sylvia Olden Lee (who doubled as an accompanist), and Raymond Jackson (accompanist), organized by the Schiller Instituted under the title, “Marian Anderson Annual Tribute—The Poetic Principle in Music.” The two-day workshop opened with the artists and a select number of student participants performing a concert of Classical German lieder, African-American Spirituals, and poems by the turn-of-the-century African-American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar, recited by Maestro Warfield.
