Class Details
When you listen to music–on the radio, on your Ipod, at a concert–how much do you really hear? This course aims to refine students’ listening skills so as to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of music. It also provides an introduction to the major composers, musical styles, and genres of the Western classical tradition. We will study music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern periods, including works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Stravinsky, and other composers. Genres to be covered include the symphony, string quartet, sonata, opera, song, and choral music. Attendance at selected concerts on campus is required.
