Course Description
Instructor: Judith Costello
MUSIC OF THE SEASONS: SUMMER It’s a new season, as young exuberant spring melts into golden summer — long, lazy days; awkward young animals maturing into dignified adults; fruits and berries and grains reaching their peak of lush abundance; and weather that is bright, and hot, and sometimes interrupted by fierce, destructive thunderstorms. We’ll explore how composers have depicted the many moods of summer over the centuries and around the world — from an anonymous English tunesmith of the 1260s, to the Italian Baroque genius Antonio Vivaldi, to the great 20th-century Americans, George and Ira Gershwin.
