Workshop Details
In this interactive learning experience participants will leave with a deepened understanding of how musical style evident in Western music during the last millennia are a reflection of societal change and are not due to any particular composer’s “creative muse.”
Starting with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and the intellectual and spiritual climate of the High Baroque (ca. 1720), this program will observe the changes wrought by Enlightenment society on the music of the Classical Era (ca. 1780) as manifested in the work of Wolfgang Gottlieb (a.k.a. Theophilus, Amadé, Amadeus) Mozart (1756-1791). Finally, “Music as a Mirror” will observe the impact of the Age of Revolution and Napoleon (ca. 1810) through a lens provided by the radical and experimental music of Ludwig (“my friends call me Louis”) van Beethoven (1770-1827). That said, the session will end with the music of Jimi Hendrix!
