Unit Description

This unit explores the music and culture of our European inheritance from the middle ages and renaissance on a broad, cross-disciplinary basis including social history, cultural history, aesthetics and musical analysis. As well as providing a general overview, studies in this unit will concentrate on recent trends in the research and performance of the music from this period and how our approaches to music and culture from this period are conditioned by our own social and cultural values. Scope exists in this unit to develop advanced individual knowledge at the undergraduate level about one or more topics in music of this period.
