Music and Art Education 2

Tutor:

Vladimír FRANZ

Synopsis:

The course examines the relation of music and drama, their interaction and questions of the construction and mutual shaping of both components. It tries to identify not only the points shared in common, but also the differences and specific features in individual models for musical dramatic thinking on the basis of historical development, and subsequently to apply this knowledge in practice.

The general portion familiarizes students with the development of European music - ca. from Monteverdi to the present, with an emphasis on the historical conditionality of the musical dramatic ideas of composers in various eras. This involves recognizing different styles, forms, chosen means and methods of interpretation. Likewise, students should gain an overview of the modern European visual arts, especially with respect to their relationship to the music drama genre.
