  • MUS 2000: Classical Music

    3.00 Credits
    Curry College

    Fall Semester As Americans are paying increasing attention to the richness of Western classical music, many have discovered that the sounds and structures of this heritage become better understood when its international nature and its evolution in a social and cultural context are comprehended. Taught in this way, music, as a universal language, has the potential to link the listener with the time and place in which it was composed. The course traces “classical” music from its early roots, through its spread fromaristocratic privilege to public access in Europe, its coming of age in Russia and the United States, its service to the intense nationalism of the late nineteenth century, and finally its role in the internationalism of contemporary society. Text reading, use of course web materials, selected reserve readings, and preparatory listening are required. Basic music concepts, presented in Introduction to Fine Arts, are reviewed briefly at the beginning of the course. This course satisfies the international/multicultural requirement. Pre- or Corequisite: FA 1000 or permission of instructor. Catalog 2007-08 129
