This course will look at many aspects of the symphony, including the instruments in the ensemble and how they have changed over time, the musical forms of individual movements and how they developed, how the work known as a “symphony” developed historically, and who some of the important composers were. This lecture class will include a PowerPoint presentation plus listening to musical examples on YouTube. No previous musical experience is necessary.
NOTE: There is no class on Monday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.
