General Education

0802. The Art of Listening (4 s.h.) RCI: GA. $.

Are you an active or passive listener? What kind of music do you enjoy? How do you compare different musical styles, and what qualities make one performance different from another? Be challenged to rethink your entire conception of music by focusing on how to listen to music to deepen your appreciation of what you are hearing, and to ponder the importance of music in your life and to society. You will not be required to become a performer yourself, but you will become a more discriminating consumer of music through attendance at live concerts in the local area, by observation of in-class performances, rehearsals, and music lessons, and through guided listening exercises in and outside of class. Repertoire selected from Classical, Jazz, Broadway, and World Music will engage your intellectual and emotional response as a concert-goer, listener, researcher, critic, and communicator.

Note: This course fulfills the Arts (GA) requirement for students under GenEd and Arts (AR) for students under Core.

0804. Shakespeare and Music (3 s.h.) RCI: GA.

What is it about the Bard of Stratford-on-Avon? From the concert hall to the stage and silver screen, no other author’s works have inspired more adaptations than those of William Shakespeare. In this new century, as the “cult of originality” continues to grow at an exponential rate and celebrity is sought as an end in itself (see Hilton, Paris), why have the works of a man whose very identity is shrouded in mystery remained so popular? This course will explore Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Romeo and Juliet, and their adaptation by composers and choreographers. Students will then get a chance to “bend the Bard” on their own!

Note: This course fulfills the Arts (GA) requirement for students under GenEd and Arts (AR) for students under Core.

0809. World Musics & Cultures (3 s.h.) RCI: GA.

Have you ever wondered why musical compositions from different parts of the world sound so dissimilar? Why does Japanese music employ silence as a structural element and Chinese melodies use only five notes? Discover how an artist’s creative imagination is molded by the cultural values of the society at large. Listen to guest musicians demonstrate different styles of playing and attend a live concert. Examine folk, art and popular music from around the world and discuss the wonderful and strange sounds that are produced.

Note: This course fulfills the Arts (GA) requirement for students under GenEd and Arts (AR) for students under Core.
