This exposition brings together elements from my ongoing research into text-setting – the process of translating written text into music. In my research I attempt to examine how text-setting can become a method of meaning-making in interpreting archival life-writing by musicians.
The materials presented here – recordings, annotated lyrics, sketches, and scores – do not illustrate a fixed process or outcome. Rather, in this exposition my process of understanding text-setting as a meaning-making process is outlined.
