Music and Art: Impressionism (Video)

Throughout music history, music and art have been often intertwined in ways that have created some of the greatest masterpieces in Western Music. How have composers used art as inspiration? And how did such composers transform musical language in order to musically replicate artistic styles? This lecture examines how Claude Debussy adapted the late 19th-century French artistic movement known as Impressionism into a new musical language. Class lectures/discussions will focus on how composers constructed new musical means in order to musically paint a particular artistic style. Attendees are encouraged (but not required) to listen/examine Claude Monet's Sunrise and Claude Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun before the presentation. Musical experience is not required.

This is for the video only.
