Hollywood Scores: A Fertile Land for Immigrants

GENINT 741.589

Osher (50+). In this course, we explore the music of composers who immigrated to the United States.

About this course:

As doors were closing in Europe in the 1930s, they were opening in America, despite the Great Depression. In this course, we discover how immigrants, some of them escaping the Nazi regime, created the music of the Golden Age of Hollywood. We explore how that migration changed the landscape of American culture; and how famous scores, like those of Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Ben-Hur, or Psycho were written and performed. Anecdotes and stories are combined with audiovisuals and musical examples. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
