Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing the students with an introduction to the history of music and, more generally, to musicology, presenting some of the various aspects in which these disciplines are articulated. The course offers a historical, cultural and social analysis of musical pieces chosen among the great masterpieces of the classical music repertoire. Listening to these pieces with comments will contribute to deepen the students’ knowledge about their historical and socio-cultural meanings. At the end of the course the student will have acquired capacity of orientation both in reading texts on music historiography and in the critical listening of music.
Program
This course aims to introduce students to the study of opera. The first part will focus on the theory of musical dramaturgy. The second will concentrate on Giuseppe Verdi’s opera "Aida" which will function as a case study on which we will try out recent methodological approaches and learn the most useful analytical tools.
