BA

Sounding American Art

Tuesdays 10 a.m. – noon, Kennedy Institute (Lansstr. 7-9, 14195 Berlin) room 340; course number 32101-S22, first session on April 19, 2022.

Since the eighteenth century, when the silversmith and printer Paul Revere engraved the frontispiece to the first book of published music by a US composer, William Billings, there has been an ongoing relationship between American art and American music.  Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this module will consider that relationship from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.  At the same time, it will also explore some of the ways in which intersection has been explored not only by art historians but also by musicologists and others outside of art history.
