MHST 357 - Charles Ives’s Musical Universe

FC CNDP DDHU
4 credits
This seminar-style course examines the music, writing, and historiography of Charles Ives, an enigmatic figure in American musical history. We will examine Ives’s use of borrowed melodies and their meanings, his connections to philosophy (especially but not exclusively New England transcendentalism), his unique writings, analysis of his works, his career in- and outside music, his cultural milieu and relationship to American society, and his reception both during and after his life. Activities will include in-depth reading, stylistic analysis, class presentations and discussion. Significant attention will be paid to developing individual research projects.
Prerequisites & Notes: MHST 101 and one 200-level Music History course are suggested. ESOL 130 or testing equivalent is required of International students.
Does this course require off campus field trips? No
