This 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 the other arts as
well as the social sciences. Although it is not a
theory-based music 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 exhibitions).
