MUSC 100: The Philosophy of Music What Is Music? Are there any sounds that couldn’t ever be considered music? What exactly is a "musical composition," especially in the age of recorded music and sampling? How is music meaningful? Can music tell a story? Express an emotion? Convey a proposition? And if music can do any of these things, how does it do it? To explore these questions, we will discuss readings by contemporary musicians and philosophers, and musical examples ranging from Mozart to Muddy Waters and from Beethoven to the Beatles. 6; S/CR/NC; Arts and Literature; offered Fall 2009 -- J.
