Hello everyone! I'm super psyched that you are joining the journey to broaden our exposure to classical music.
How we got here...
Simply - I realized that my exposure to classical music was extremely narrow; essentially focusing on the symphonic form since Beethoven. I want to appreciate more.
What to expect...
The goal is more pleasure from music - through exposure to new music and developing a deeper understanding of the musical and political context in which each composer created.
We are going to walk through "classical" Western music from the middle ages to the present. We will take the journey in chronological order through written text and more importantly by listening.
The pace will be slow, allowing time to steep ourselves in the music of the time. How much you choose to isolate yourself to the music of the period is your choice - and probably a great first topic for discussion.
How it works...
I'll publish a bite-sized timeline to provide guidance for reading and listening. For each block, there will be a discussion forum to enable discussion: what you liked, what you didn't, your insights, thoughts on additional listening/reading etc.
What you need...
We will use The Vintage Guide to Classical Music by Jan Swafford. It is available at Amazon through this link.
The music list is quite extensive. Given the amount of music, a free or paid subscription to Spotify could easily pay off.

The more the merrier! Invite you friends.

I know there are some file sharing sites out there for music. Maybe one where we can dump stuff that others can access? Just a thought. Joey's brother in law was telling me of this. Thoughts?
ReplyDeletei m nor smart enough to post. however, i would like to be able to do that. maybe you can invite people to become posters once they accept the invite to subscribe?
ReplyDeletei still can't post anything. i think i'm either lacking brains or lacking vision. hopefully it is just the latter.
