Introduction to Music (Lecture)
Eldad will also be teaching an introductory summer course at SUNY Manhattan, beginning with May 2011.
The basic concepts of music such as melody, harmony, rhythm, counterpoint, and form are studied through investigation of the historical and contemporary masterpieces of the Western classical tradition, of various non-Western musics, and of various "popular" traditions. The different styles and types of music are considered not only in light of the cultural values they embody, but also in relation to present-day cultural and musical values. No previous musical training is assumed.
Details will be posted soon on the blog.
