Description

Class Experience

Amidst the chaos for World War 1, Englishman Gustav Holst created an enormous seven part orchestral work inspired by his newfound love of astrology. Each of the seven movements features one of the planets that could be viewed from Earth at the time (Pluto had yet to be discovered.) The music would inspire generations of composers, including those who wrote for famous science fictions movies.

Through an engaging lecture and listening examples, we will discover the history of the work, learn...

Students should be familiar with the music as well as its historical connections.

I hold a masters degree in music.

1 pair of headphones or earbuds for best sound quality.

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
