MUSC& 105 - Music Appreciation

Credits: 5
An introduction to the ‘Classical’ music tradition, this course is an audiovisual tour of the rich heritage of Western Art Music, designed for the musical novice as well as the music major. By actively listening to a wide range of musical styles, from the sacred chants of the Middle Ages, to the genius of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, to today’s concert stage, the critical aural skills needed to truly appreciate music will be exercised and developed. Emphasis will be on the evolution of vocal and orchestral music and familiarity with standard concert repertoire of today’s symphony orchestras. The more we listen, the more we hear!
