Monday evenings from 6-8 p.m. on ZOOM

February 13, 20, 27, March 6, 13.


From before his first hit, “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love),” in the 1928

Broadway musical Paris, to after his last, “True Love,” in the 1955 film

High Society, Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was

famous for his witty, urbane lyrics, breathtaking melodies, and often

censored double entendres in over 800 songs written for dozens of

Broadway shows and film musicals.


Over the five weeks of this course, Marc Strauss will present and coordinate

discussion of over fifty Great American Standard and rare Cole Porter tunes

via CD, DVD, and YouTube recordings from both Broadway and

Hollywood. Marc will help students dig deep into Porter’s musical and

lyrical artistry, as well as discuss cultural and social contexts surrounding his

personal life to provide rich insights into his songs.
