Experience Philadelphia's riveting arts scene through its awesome music performance groups. In The Art of Listening, you don't have to read music or play an instrument to discover how music of all kinds can be both edifying and entertaining. Class members will go on four field trips visiting Philadelphia's leading music halls to hear world-renowned performers playing a variety of music including Classical, Jazz, Broadway and World Music. Additionally, professional musicians active in the field will visit the classroom for demonstrations. Guided listening exercises will enable you to listen with increased clarity. Learning musical elements will empower you to acquire a skill set that can be applied to all of your listening preferences. Equally important, practicing open-minded listening may reveal new portals for greater appreciation of the arts and humanities and prompt you to ponder the importance of music in your life and to society.

MUST 0804. Shakespeare and Music. 3 Credit Hours.

What is it about the Bard of Stratford-on-Avon? From the concert hall to the stage and silver screen, no other author's works have inspired more adaptations than those of William Shakespeare. In this new century, as the "cult of originality" continues to grow at an exponential rate and celebrity is sought as an end in itself (see Hilton, Paris), why have the works of a man whose very identity is shrouded in mystery remained so popular? This course will explore "Macbeth," "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Romeo and Juliet," and their adaptation by composers and choreographers. Students will then get a chance to "bend the Bard" on their own! NOTE: This course fulfills the Arts (GA) requirement for students under GenEd and Arts (AR) for students under Core.
