MUSI 3340 Literature and Music
This course examines the relationship of the literary and musical arts. Comparative study focuses upon various practices, critical theories, and social, historical, and philosophical concepts that cross artistic boundaries and influence specific works of literature and/or musical arts. Class sessions include lecture, film and audio presentations, and group activities. Critical thinking is encouraged as students apply concepts to analysis of fiction, poetry, drama and musical compositions from western and non-western cultures. It is recommended that students complete WRIT 2315 and MUSI 1310 before taking this course. Credit may be earned for ENGL 3340 or MUSI 3340 but not for both.
