| Description: | "The Score: Understanding the Secret Language of Film Music" Movie soundtracks are America's classical music. For nearly 100 years, Broadway and Hollywood and composers have shaped and defined our most memorable experiences at the movies. Through screenings, readings, and discussions, we will study these great composers and scrutinize their work to better understand how music operates on a special channel of communication. We will pay special attention to musicals and explore how they have adapted to changing times and audiences. A unique feature of this course will be tracking the evolution of a musical staged by Prof. Abbott during the semester. Students will have special access to the design, rehearsal, and performance elements of this show as it progresses through the semester. If you can read music or have a little music theory under your belt, your experience may be enhanced. However, a simple curiosity about film music is perfectly sufficient to succeed in this Tutorial. |
