RUSSIAN 340 - Russia on the Opera Stage

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Music The early development of Russian music benefited from appropriation of Byzantine unaccompanied choral singing and, at the same time, suffered from the absence of instrumental music. By comparison, Western European music combined the use of vocal and instrumental faculties and resulted in the creation of numerous forms of musical art, including opera. The flourishing of this genre in Europe had a direct impact on the progress of musical life in Russia. Material studied includes literary texts, musical recordings, and opera performances on video. This course is offered under the auspices of the Bard- Smolny Virtual Campus Project.
