Description:

With today's music as a departure point, this course will examine specific periods and styles of the past that have shaped contemporary music.

A particular semester might deal with Beethoven and the elevation of art music, Gregorian chant and its connection to Eastern European composers, or minimalism and the crossover into heavy metal. Open ears and an adventurous mind are critical. Every semester. Credit: 4
