This is an inter-University, interdisciplinary course that engages the student in "classical" music by examining case studies of composers working or being in conflict with some outside force. Studying this issue can involve historical, sociological, religious, philosophical, and political issues and ideas as well as musical ones. As a joint course with Carlow, team-taught with one professor from each university, the course location will rotate back and forth between the two campuses.This is a discussion course, and limited to 20 students (CMU/Carlow combined). Outside work will include readings and two term papers; class time will be spent discussing issues raised by the readings, lecture, and listening to selected music on the case studies. The ability to read music is not a prerequisite for this course.R. James Whipple, Artist Lecturer in Music Theory, CMUwhipple@cmu.eduGrace Ann Geibel RSM, President Emeritus, Carlow University
