This class will explore the links and differences between the Open Form scores that emerged out of the post-Cagean world of the '50s and '60s and the Controlled Improvisation strategies that many composer-performers who come from the worlds of Jazz and Free Improvisation have utilized. This class will combine historical and theoretical perspectives; many of the challenges inherent in looking at these two approaches to music together were raised in Composer/Performer/ Educator George Lewis' essay "Improvised Music after 1950: Afrological andEurological Perspectives." (Black Music Research Journal, Vol. 16, No. 1, Spring 1996) and this will function as a key text, as will John Cage's "Writings onIndeterminacy." Composers studies will include Cage, Christian Wolff, Stockhausen, Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, Cornelius Cardew, Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, Butch Morris, Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, John Zorn, Elliott Sharp and others. In-class performance will be a crucial part of the class, with an eventual goal of at least one public performance. (2 credits) Coleman
