CLASS NOTES: Discussion section for MUS-Z 101, #11682.
Find out what performance caused a riot in 1913, the identity of a 19th century “rock star,” and the composer of the most popular piece for two hundred years! In this course, the listener has the opportunity to hear diverse types of music through exploration of European and American classics. After initial units on the elements of music and world music, the course flows from the Middle Ages to contemporary times. You do not need a musical background to be in this class, but it is important to have a love for music. Through focused listening, discussion, and reading, the objective is to deepen your experience of music. By the end of the semester, many iconic works and composers will be familiar, and you will have discovered some indescribably beautiful music.
This course meets twice a week and will include listening to music, background material, and a few in-class performances. The Honors section meets an additional fifty minutes each week. It covers some composers in more depth and gives broader exposure to important concepts of each era. No additional textbook is required.
