- 요약The musical works of Tom Lehrer (b. 1928) can be broadly defined as "comedy songs," and they represent a small oeuvre of musical output compared to his more frequently and rigorously studied contemporaries. Even considering his musical success, Lehrer's use of popular song forms and satirical poetic content have stood in contrast to the devices more commonly used to define a "classically trained" singer's education.However, in identifying and analyzing his musical trademarks using twenty-first century research methodologies, Lehrer's music can be more accurately defined under the term musical "memetics." Memetics is the field of study surrounding the concept of a meme, which is defined as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation." More specifically, studying musical memes treats musical content as tangible ideas that can be spread between humans to connote meaning. Using this definition of memetics for Lehrer's works is effective because memes demonstrate how cultural information is exchanged and evolves over time.This document is a performance guide to the musical works of Tom Lehrer: it defines musical memetics and applies it to his songs; outlines the humor in his music using those definitions of musical memetics and similar terms; contextualizes and provides guidance on how to perform and program Lehrer's music as a self-accompanying vocalist; and establishes a supplemental performance method for twenty-first century musicians seeking to seriously sing funny songs as part of their music education. Synthesizing these resources into an original performance requires in-depth analysis, practice, and rigor like that of any other lied, operatic aria, song cycle, or recital plan.
