| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2353 In this course, students acquire practice in listening to music, and explore the idea that music, in a Western context, is also always seen. Throughout the semester, we will listen to and view a series of works and performances, primarily from the Western classical tradition from the Baroque era to the twenty-first century, and consider how musical performance as a cultural practice is defined both by spectatorship and audition. In the process, we will explore questions such as: What does it mean to listen? What does listening entail, what senses and what skills are involved? How does our listening change based on context, genre, venue, geography? In addition to listening and reading, students attend concerts and complete written reflections on subjects and musical objects discussed in class.; Enrollment Limit: 25 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: HU, A) |
