Music of the Impressionist Period Course October 12, 2012

The period from around 1880 to 1920, sometimes described as Impressionism, elicited some of the most beautiful and bewitching compositions of western music history. Composers such as Sibelius, Elgar, Mahler, Debussy and Ravel gave the world exotic and rich new sounds, in the last moments before many composers abandoned normal music and went atonal. This study day examines the music of this period in its historical and social context. Details of this event may be subject to change.
