Description: This one semester course introduces a rich tapestry of orchestral literature in film, video, and game music. Through analysis of both scores and the films in which they operate, topic theory (with examples from the very earliest to the very latest), and further deep dives into interpretation and orchestration, we will assemble a working knowledge of the mechanics of musical narrative as it is meant to enhance a visual image. Some musical experience will be helpful, but is not necessary for enrollment the course.

Description: This course explores the evolving role of orchestral literature in western music from the Classical period through film music today. Over the semester we examine several large-scale works in depth to better understand their context, structure, and significance. This course includes discussions on interpretation, as well as performance and conducting challenges. While the ability to read music is not required, students should be passionate about classical orchestral repertoire and its changing role over time.
