Knowing the Score: a History of Music For Moving Images

Course Description

This course examines the plural relationships between sound and image from historical, functional, and critical perspectives. It explores how music and sound shape visual media and influence one another. Through film screenings, listening sessions, readings, discussions, and reflective writing, students will develop the skills to critically analyze these interactions across four modules: film music, video game music, music videos, and animation. Students taking this course will meet concurrently with MUSC 214, and will complete additional research projects via writing assignments and creative work in the Ford Hall digital music lab. This 300-level section is intended for Music majors.
