Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

The cities of Vienna and Salzburg in Austria, and Prague in the Czech Republic, provide the surroundings to see where the most famous musical masterpieces came to life. These three cities have had music oozing from their environs for over 200 years during the reign of the Hapsburg Monarchy. And, the year 2006 will be the 250-year birthday celebration of Mozart. In this course, we will focus on the music of the composers who loved and worked in Vienna, Salzburg and Prague with particular attention given to the two most prominent, Mozart and Beethoven. We will listen to their music, see where they lived, worked, and socialized. For the leadership perspective of this course, we will study the reign of the Hapsburg Monarchy and its role of power and influence over the peoples and cultures of these three cities.
