Description
Classical Music. Pop Music. Does “never the twain shall meet” hold true here? Does musical genius consign composers to only one genre or does musical genius free composers to bridge and crossover the musical spectrum? In Part 1 of this class, the works of seminal composers such as George Gershwin, Darius Milhaud, and William Grant Still will be explored. Part 2 will delve into the oeuvres of Duke Ellington, Claude Bolling, Dave Brubeck, and Wynton Marsalis. (For Part 2 of this series, see class #143.)
