MUGN 220: Composers of the Musical on Stage and Screen (100/11412)

MW 04:50-06:05 PM Jan 17-May 01

Conklin, L

This course is meant to provide students with an introduction to the role of music in the history, reception, and popularity of the Broadway and Hollywood musical, with a particular focus on the creators--the composers, lyricists, and orchestrators. We will survey the early history, going back to 19th century experiments, revues, and the origins of the "book" musical, going through the golden age of the 1930s to the 1950s, the nadir of output in the 1960s and 1970s (Oh, Calcutta!, anyone?), the revival in the 1980s with the rise of the megamusical, all the way to today's rock-music driven puppet extravaganzas. Classes will also discuss ever-shifting genres and styles of music, new approaches to songwriting, and changes to what qualifies as "acceptable" music. There's also the structure of the stories to consider, as well as gender roles, racial stereotypes, ethnic under/overtones, and camp.
