Overview of class

This course considers nineteenth-, twentieth-, and twenty-first century trends to revive older works, genres and styles of discontinued music, giving them new relevance to new audiences and performers. It is constructed as a series of brief vignettes of previous and ongoing revivals, and provides ample opportunity for students to explore individual relevant interests as performers, scholars, and consumers. It is divided into three parts which represent three prominent sub-fields of music revival: "early music" (historical art-music), folk music, and musical theater.
