Learning outcomes
|
The course examines the principal developmental trends and leading figures in music after the Second World War. Particular attention is devoted to the evolution of musical thought and to the broader aesthetic and cultural contexts of musical life. The course focuses primarily on the following stylistic movements: serialism, aleatory music and indeterminacy, timbre-oriented composition, minimalism, and postmodern trends.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will have acquired an overview of the principal aesthetic and compositional styles, movements, leading composers, and representative works of twentieth-century music. Students will be able to independently design dramaturgical concepts for concert programmes, opera productions, and music festivals focusing on twentieth-century music. They will be able to select representative repertoire with due regard to its historical, aesthetic, and stylistic context, performance requirements, the intended audience, and the mission of a particular musical institution, and to justify their dramaturgical decisions on scholarly grounds.
