Description
Subject Area: Music
This course examines Western Classical music performance in its cultural and historical contexts. Studying the aesthetic outlook, role and function of composers, performers and audiences from the Baroque period up to the 20th Century provides a forum for you to explore how performance styles change in tandem with shifting social norms, compositional prerogatives, and technological developments in instrument construction and more generally.
Being a Level 4 core course, it deepens knowledge gained and refines skills developed at Levels 1-3 musicology and performance lab courses. In particular, it builds on Music: A Panorama by revisiting some of the concepts, repertoire, and historical periods studied. It also complements Performance Lab courses by focusing on historical performing practices and styles of interpretation.
