Explores the inter-relations of music with other art forms particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries when Paris was the global center of artistic fusion. While Chopin and Liszt brought nationalistic inspiration to the Parisian salons, the impact of nonwestern cultures opened horizons for composers and artists who sought new creative pathways in modernity. Will develop a working knowledge of music repertory, highlighting music as an international language drawn from multicultural sources. Through audio demonstrations, concerts, and visits to monuments and museums, students will appreciate the literary influence in the Romantic music of Berlioz, Debussy and the Impressionist movement, Stravinsky and the Fauves. Students should budget for extra concert tickets, museum and monument entrance fees.
