"The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it." Edgar Bronfman, Jr. former CEO of Warner Music Group Using this quote as a guide, but expanding it to include music and sound as a whole, not just the music industry, this course will broadly examine the effect that technology has had on music and sound after WWII. It will cover music and sound in popular music, art music, film and interactive media, music of other cultures, and sound art and sound installations. The class format is based on a cycle of listening, reading, and creating. Students will first listen to and discuss works that employ, are made possible, or were fundamentally changed because of a paradigm shift brought about due to a technological innovation. Students will then read and learn about one particular innovation and finally demonstrate their knowledge of this innovation by creating short musical or sound works of their own and writing about the relationship between technology and their own work or by composing short, focused essays about the relationship between a technological shift and works listened to in class. This class is open to all majors, regardless of prior musical knowledge; however, basic computer skills are required. (WCore: WCFAH, WCCAP)

Gillmor Foundation, which underwrites full scholarships for participants. It is an instrumental counterpart to the SummerSong Camp for singers. Two college credits available for qualifying (rising) high school juniors and seniors upon completion of week-long camp in which they learn chamber ensemble rehearsal techniques and new repertoire, preparing them for entry into Westminster's music program upon matriculation. MUSC-212SC: Summersong (Credits: 2) The Westminster voice program is thrilled to announce the SummerSong music festival for young singers and pianists. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Florence J. Gillmor Foundation, 25 high school-age students will receive a full scholarship for a week-long immersion in the art of singing, which covers all tuition, fees, food (lunch and snacks provided every day) and the camp t-shirt.

In this course students will examine music composed for two of the greatest fantasy epics ever created, Richard Wagner's 4-opera Der Ring des Niebelungen and Howard Shore's soundtracks to the 3-film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Comparisons between the literary content of the cycles are inevitable, from the subject matter to parallel plot developments and even the fantasy creatures that inhabit each world, and these will be studied in the course. In addition to these correspondences, the composers of each cycle used very similar compositional devices to organize the musical content, providing continuity over 10+ hours of music while simultaneously clearly delineating characters, objects, emotional states and more abstract ideas. Students will present their own specialized research on diverse topics relating to the two cycles to their classmates. (WCore: WCFAH and RE, WCCRT)

This course helps to improve students' musical creativity through creation of original music and thorough study of existing works and techniques used to compose music in concert, jazz, and popular styles. Students will also develop their own approach to the "create - critique - revise" cycle by presenting their own work to peers and faculty and learning how to integrate external criticism into their own creative process. In addition to regular presentation of their own work, students will be encouraged to present analyses of existing works in class and will produce analytical papers describing salient musical characteristics of important compositions from the repertoire.

In this class, you will make artwork in any discipline of your choice. These might include, but are not limited to, traditional disciplines such as painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture, performance, installation, music, theater, writing, and dance, as well as non-traditional, experimental, and hybrid disciplines. You will regularly present new work to each other for feedback and discussion in group critiques. These works-in-progress critiques will help you to develop and refine a strong and cohesive body of work due at the end of the semester. Because no new technical skills will be demonstrated, you will rely on skills you already have, as well as personal investigation and possibly collaboration with each other, to make your work. It is likely that several different disciplines will be practiced by the participants in this class, giving you the opportunity and responsibility to share concerns of your individual practice with each other. In this environment, you are the authority of your work. Discussion will likely be built around concerns that unite us as artists rather than details that separate us by discipline.
