FYSM 290 - Language and Music of Russia

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

We will observe the magnificent sweep of Russian culture through its language and music. Students will learn to speak, read, and write Russian while considering the interplay of tradition and modernization in Russia through a study of music as an expression of the Russian soul. Our seminar will meet four days a week, three of them spent on learning Russian, and the fourth devoted to listening to and analyzing a broad cross-section of Russian music--folk songs, sacred music, major classical composers from Tchaikovsky to Shostakovich, and contemporary youth pop. After completing this course, students may choose to continue their study of Russian by taking Russian 102 in the Spring semester, followed by the more advanced courses in the language sequence. 1.50 units, Seminar
