AMU 340 - Early Music Seminar: Music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Course Units: 1.0

While distant in time, music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance resonates with modern times. Students learn how court musicians, monks, jongleurs, and others dealt with topics that still matter today - from love to war - only in different musical languages. Through individual analyses of texts and music, active listening exercises, classroom discussions, papers, performances, and projects, students explore the lives of people living between the ninth through the sixteenth centuries.
