The great Broadway composers and lyricists have been writing songs about life lived in a kind of enlightenment since the beginning of musical theater. Rodgers & Hammerstein, Sondheim, Bernstein, Lerner--Tin Pan Alley’s gods--have been penning anthems about awakening to a life lived with the gods.
Great spiritual teachers, who have outlined higher states of consciousness, help us see these songs in a brighter light, as pointing to that inner freedom. The class will examine a number of these Broadway classics, analyze their lyrics, listen to their melodies, and come to understand them as pointing to the liberated life that can develop through techniques like meditation.
