Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Popular music means so much to us, and yet we often forget how much of that meaning depends on the situation within which we hear it. Album art, music videos, the performance or attitude of the sing-er/band, the lyrics, the subculture involved, and many other factors influence what we hear and our response to it. The aim of this course is to develop a toolkit for analysing how musical texts, usually a recording or a performance, interact with their various listeners and contexts to generate meaning.Each class will introduce a method of analysis, which we will then practice using in class on a number of examples. Further practice will be offered in a series of exercises to be completed at home.
