CONSVTY 351WI      History of Music in Western Civilization I - Writing Intensive
George Santayana once reasoned that if you cannot remember the past, you are condemned to repeat it. If that is the case, then as music students you all must ask how the music of the past can inform and change the music you make and make you better musicians. This class examines selected works from Western musical history and explores the biographical, stylistic, and aesthetic issues they raise. It seeks to home your analytical skills through knowledge of stylistic features while introducing you to musical debates that still rage today.
