MHST 362 - Music, Politics, and the Western Canon, c. 1800 Next Offered: Fall Semester
Semester Offered: First Semester FC Credits: 4 Credits Attribute: CNDP, DDHU
The world was no less plagued with conflict than it is today in the decades around the year 1800; rebellion, war, and migration engulfed Europe and the globe. While historians have closely examined the social political events of the period between Mozart’s death and the rise of Beethoven, its music has received only cursory attention by comparison. But the music created during this turbulent and transformative era would prove crucial in the development of the Western musical canon. This interdisciplinary course examines the intersections of music, politics, and aesthetics to understand more completely the formative years of the Western canon.
Enrollment Limit: 15 Instructor: A. Glatthorn
