Music 371SH - Shakespeare and Music to 1800

This seminar develops skills in the use of primary materials for musicological, ethnomusicological, and/or theoretical research; in critical engagement with published scholarship; and in the communication of original research to a wider community. Collaborative inquiry on a specific interdisciplinary topic provides the context from which each student fashions a substantial independent project, often with a practical or public component. This year, the topic is musical settings and adaptations of Shakespeare from 1590-1800. Students will collectively research, program, rehearse, and perform an evening-length program of music from Shakespeare's Tempest.

Prereq: MUSIC-232 and MUSIC-282.
