The thesis examines the song forms in Richard Rodgers's Broadway and Hollywood musicals from 1919 to 1943---up to and including the songs written for Oklahoma! The thesis combines musical, textual and iconographical analysis with genre theory in order to reveal how the construction of songs, and in particular their chorus patterns, function in larger dramatic-narrative frameworks and also in broader cultural scenarios.

520 $a The thesis examines the song forms in Richard Rodgers's Broadway and Hollywood musicals from 1919 to 1943---up to and including the songs written for Oklahoma! The thesis combines musical, textual and iconographical analysis with genre theory in order to reveal how the construction of songs, and in particular their chorus patterns, function in larger dramatic-narrative frameworks and also in broader cultural scenarios.
520 $a Over 300 songs by Rodgers have been examined. Typical features of the composer's instrumental introductions, verses and choruses are discussed: choruses receive an extended treatment. Rodgers uses two main chorus patterns during this time period: the "parallel period" chorus and the "lyric binary" chorus. A third pattern, the "hybrid" chorus, combines features of the other two, but remains distinctly different. Five types of adaptation to the normative chorus formats are also explored: repetition, expansion, embedded choruses, double choruses, and "macro" choruses.
520 $a Specific songs from four shows---Dearest Enemy (1925), A Connecticut Yankee (1927), Babes in Arms (1937) and The Boys From Syracuse (1938)---are examined in detail alongside their narrative frameworks. These examples show how Rodgers uses the unique musical features of different chorus patterns in combination with other musical, textual and narrative elements to create specific dramatic effects. Specifically, parallel period choruses are associated with formal expressions of feeling, separation, distance, nostalgia or otherwise backwards-looking gestures. Lyric binary choruses, on the other hand, tend to be associated with the direct expression of youthful love. The final chapter explores a contextual framework for Oklahoma! and relates the songs to regionalist iconography and to a mythic-historical construction of American national identity.
