MUS 42 Early Classical Music (From Plato to Mozart)

This course introduces the composers and repertoires of Western classical music from ancient civilizations to ca. 1800. Our study emphasizes the development of musical instruments, the origins of written notation, and the constant search for new ways to organize sound. Examining numerous instrumental and vocal works, we will reflect on critical issues of history, virtuosity, class, gender, religion, censorship, and humor.
