The Music of Disney
Fall (9 - 13 hours) | This course is completed
We will study and enjoy the tremendous wealth of music that came from the Disney movies and other projects. Walt Disney had a long history of entertainment, and he believed that music was an essential part of that entertainment - no matter what form it took. We will start back in the 1930s with his first animated cartoons and cover the progress of that and other art forms to the current time - a true feast of song that appeals to a wide range of tastes. Local performers will visit, and we will watch YouTube videos of the work. Readings will be minimal - mostly articles handed out in class.
