The Great Romantics
Listen and learn with the great composers of the Romantic era. Whether you swoon for Wagner and Brahms, or cheer for Rachmaninoff and Liszt, you will find out why their music sounds just so romantic. We'll take an aural tour of the nineteenth century, its history and social highlights, and find new favorites for everyone. This course is open to all from high school age onward.
Those Tunes in 'Toons
Discover the classical music woven into cartoons of the 20th and 21st centuries. We'll look and listen for familiar and forgotten gems in shorts from the Golden Era, recent wonders and, of course, full-length favorites like Fantasia. You'll learn about the original music and how it is transformed and meshed with animation.
