Learning Series: Music Composed to Commemorate Historical Events In-Person
Throughout the ages, music has been used to mark important historical events and milestones. Music has been written to celebrate and lament wars and battles, truces and peace treaties, graduations and the dedication of Coventry Cathedral to name a few. In this 4-week course Joe Marchio will explore some great musical works written to commemorate important world events. He will explore music by Britten, Brahms, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and more. He will also look at a recent Pulitzer Prize winning opera by composer, Kevin Puts, that tells the story of the temporary December 14 truce between German and English soldiers on the WWI battlefield.
