Course Description:
Knighted "the king of instruments" by Mozart, the pipe organ is one of the oldest and most complex of all musical instruments. This course will provide an overview of the development of the instrument itself and its repertoire, ranging from the organ's medieval origins through the present day. We will listen to recordings of music from every major period and national school of organ literature, as well as attend live performances and visit historic instruments in Connecticut. The course will culminate in a final performance and research project. |
