GRMUS T663 — European Avant-garde Composers: 1945-1980

2 credits
Spring
Jonathan Dawe

Instilled with a newfound sense of purpose and discovery in the second half of the 20th century, young European composers radically advanced compositional thought and in doing so reconsidered the very foundations of musical language. This course offers an analytic path through important musical compositions that represent this period of avant-garde achievements. Included in the survey are works by Boulez, Stockhausen, Nono, Ligeti, and Dallapiccola.
