Assistant Professor Lidia Chang’s Block 6 Music and the Museum<\/em> class spent three intense weeks in Vienna, Austria visiting museums, attending concerts, and designing their own interactive virtual exhibition in the Kunsthistorisches Museum\u2019s musical instrument collection. The students went behind the scenes with curators, museum directors, and restoration\/conservation specialists to learn first-hand about the multifaceted and interdisciplinary work that museum professionals do every day. The students worked in small groups to curate exhibitions on five objects in the collection: a 16th-century lute by Hans Frei<\/a>, a curiously un-playable spinet-regal<\/a>, a composition board<\/a> used by the blind composer Maria Theresia von Paradis, a set of royal trumpets and timpani<\/a>, and an 18th-century quartet table<\/a>. Their virtual exhibitions opened on March 5, and the quartet table was featured on the Kunsthistorisches Museum\u2019s public lecture-recital series, “Unerh\u00f6rt!”  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

MU398\/CO300: Doctor Faustus\u2013
Exploring Music and Fascism in the Twentieth Century <\/em>with Assistant Professor Lidia Chang
<\/strong>Thomas Mann’s 1947 novel, Doctor Faustus<\/em>, captures the anxieties and horrors of the 20th century while weaving them into the history of Western music. This remarkable work of fiction that blends truth and fantasy will be our guide to learning about composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg, and other canonized figures of European art music whose legacies have become inextricably linked with the Third Reich.

MU228: Decoding Music <\/em>with Professor Ofer Ben-Amots
<\/strong>What makes a piece of music feel cohesive, powerful, or surprising? And how do we uncover the deeper workings beneath its surface? In this course, students will break down music into fundamental elements for analysis\u2014scales, harmony, rhythms, form, and beyond\u2014while understanding how and when such theoretical constructions can be applied to a range of historical and global repertoires. Through hands-on exercises, listening sessions, and case studies, we will explore an array of analytical techniques that reveal new layers of meaning. Students will gain fresh perspectives on how music is constructed, emerging with analytical skills that can be applied in future music-making, scholarship, and everyday listening. All interested students are welcome to join, regardless of their level of music theory background.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n

Colorado College and the University of Denver music departments join forces for the first time to present The Brandenburg Project! This groundbreaking collaboration explores the resonance of J.S. Bach\u2019s compositions and instruments in the modern world, juxtaposing them with newly-commissioned works for period instruments. After a year of intense study of early instruments, techniques, and practices, students bring their own experience and artistry to J.S. Bach\u2019s Brandenburg Concertos<\/em>. Join us for a joyful celebration of music, old and new. Both performances are free and open to the public.  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
