MUSIC 10AX: Science of Sound

Science of Sound will explore sound and sound-related technology from the perspectives of mathematics, physics, and acoustics. Scientists and engineers will have a chance to apply their technical knowledge to the field of music while musicians will learn how sound behaves physically and how it can be recorded, processed, and reproduced. Using the newly opened Bing Concert Hall as a focal point, we will study the science of sound recording, room acoustics, and multi-channel mixing and playback. Students will use what they learn to create short multi-channel compositions using special techniques to place sounds spatially. These pieces will be performed during the annual outdoor Summer CCRMA Transitions concert and again during the Fall 2014 CCRMA concert at Bing Concert Hall. We will use the textbook by Jay Kadis entitled Science of Sound Recording as our primary text and incorporate plenty of hands-on experience with sound equipment and electronics.

MUSIC 11AX: Opera and Musical Stagecraft

The works of Shakespeare have inspired many artistic "spin-offs" for centuries. Let's create one of our own! In this course we will study works from the genres of opera, operetta, and musical theatre from the point of view of reproduction, adaptation, and transformation. Excerpts may be taken from some of the following works: Verdi's Falstaff; Nicolai's The Merry Wives of Windsor; Berlioz' Béatrice et Bénédict; Porter's Kiss Me Kate; Bernstein's West Side Story and Elton John's The Lion King. The final product will be a staged production written, directed, and performed by our team (with homage to Shakespeare).nnOpen to singers, instrumentalists, and costume and set designers, or all of the above.
