For those who take HUM 414 “Orientalism in Western Music”
The shuttle for tomorrow’s excursion
to Sabanci Museum will depart at Wednesday 24th February, 10:35 from the Gürsel
parking lot.
“Orientalism
in Western Music” is a Humanities course that will follow the trend currently
termed Orientalism, from its first appearance in Western art in the 16th
century to the early 20th century, focusing on music works and their relation
and interaction to other arts and the social sciences. Although it is not a
music theory-based course, nevertheless, as a prerequisite, some key terms and
general music knowledge are required. Besides lectures, the course will feature
discussions on the given subjects, interactive work on visual and auditory
materials, and excursions (concerts, museum trips).
