Twentieth-Century Lite with Keith Daniel
Do NOT be afraid: this course will concentrate on the more accessible concert music of the 20th century, and will drift over, from time to time, into the often-related world of popular music. After connecting to our most recent class with late Romanticism, we will continue with the Impressionism of Claude Debussy and end with the motor Minimalism of Worcester’s own John Adams. In between, we will listen to iconic works by Stravinsky, Ravel, Les Six, Prokofiev, Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein and many others. There are many treasures to be unearthed in the 20th century, and your efforts to do so will be rewarded. This is a listening class, but a copy of Listen (brief fifth edition), by Kerman and Tomlinson, would be a helpful companion.
*Sessions will be recorded but Keith loves to see you live on the screen!
