Section Title:
Women in Music, Pre-1650
Section Info:
Topic: "WOMEN AND MUSIC, PRE-1650." This course explores and celebrates women’s musical activities of ca. 1200–1650 and, additionally, examines the representation of women in music by men. After establishing a framework for discussion, the course proceeds in five parts: 1) music in women’s monasteries, 2) women as creative artists, 3) women as patrons, 4) representations of holy women, and 5) representations of women on stage. Broadly, this course offers a view on women’s agency and gender politics as these are expressed through musical sounds in (mainly) pre-modern and early modern Europe. In addition to completing weekly readings and participating in discussions, semester grades will be based on two projects: one collaborative, one individual. Meets with MUS 414.
