Throughout history, composers have taken inspiration from things seen, whether in nature, painting, sculpture, or everyday objects. In this century alone, that impulse has led to works as diverse as Gunther Schuller's Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee, Michael Torke's Javelin, and Claude Debussy's La Mer. In this seminar, students will explore ways of bringing the visual into their own music. We will examine works with a specific visual reference, including (whenever possible) the composers' own commentary on the creation of them. In addition, students will compose short exercises in which gestures, textures, and lines are a direct response to a visual stimulus, in some cases creating the art on which the music is based. Instructor(s): Leslie Hogan Time(s): Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30 pm-3:00 pm Place(s): Old Little Theatre, Rm. 154 << Back |
