FA 362 Music, Ecology & the Environment
3 credits
This course examines the historical and contemporary relationships between music and the environment using two primary discourses. First, it investigates the interplay of beauty, art, and culture from an evolutionary perspective. Taking inspiration from Darwin’s observation that animals have a natural aesthetic sense, it offers a survey of the various ways in which composers have responded to their environment and how, in turn, music has shaped the natural world. Second, it offers a critical examination of human ecology as it relates to the role music has played in our responses to climate change.
