Course description
From Beethoven to Woodstock, from the French Revolution to the protests that brought down Communist regimes at the end of the 1980s, music has played a central role in inspiring political and social change. In an even longer tradition, music has summoned soldiers to risk their lives, even as it likewise, whether in sacred ceremony or on the political stage, has inspired mass action in peace. This course will proceed historically, examining moments when revolution, ideological conflict, or war suggested vast changes were underway in society and culture, reflected in, but also instigated by music.
No prerequisites and no musical background assumed.
