MUSI1028 2025-26
Music in Context 1
This module aims to introduce students to a range of crucial themes and topics in the history of music, up until c.1750, with reference to their relevance in contemporary society. It will both explore and question traditional narratives, providing students with an opportunity to engage critically with and analyse the impact, value, and limitations of different approaches to the historical study of music. Specifically, we will question Western, White dominated frameworks, male-centric narratives, and observe the creation of power structures of patriarchy, inequality and difference and their relation to music of the past and their continued resonance today. Lectures introduce major cultural and historical topics such as worship and belief, technology and virtuosity, drama and spectacle, and power and resistance, exploring how musical practice reflects and shapes society. Seminars provide opportunities for contextual historical work and interactive discussions. Your knowledge and understanding of diverse musical styles and genres will be developed through familiarity with scores and recordings, aiming to develop critical reading and listening and academic writing skills. -

Music in Context 2
This module introduces you to diverse topics in music from around 1750 to the late twentieth century. It challenges widespread notions and distinctions regarding “art" and “popular" music, it explores tensions and overlaps between public and private, it engages with the relationship between musical texts and performance, and it explores virtuosity and the rise of the star performer. Lectures provide ‘snapshots’ of major phenomena and trends in European and American musics of the period, including the development of musical instruments, private and public venues and institutions, professional musics, publishing and recording, music in the theatre, and the rise of modern music business models, while follow-up open discussion sessions offer opportunities to have a detailed look at individual pieces of music and to explore issues of gender, race, and sustainability and to foster the decolonisation of repertoires and historiographical approaches. -

FILM3012 2027-28
Music in Film and Television
In recent years, film culture has become increasingly aware of the film industry’s connections with the music industry. In some cases, critics have decried the use of films as vehicles for the sale of unconnected pop songs as if it were a new development, yet similar processes have been in place since before the advent of sound cinema in the late 1920s. This module will be concerned with the historical development of film and television music as a distinct aesthetic element. It will look into production strategies, commercial, promotional and reception concerns and the place of musical accompaniment in audiovisual products. This will include, among others, sessions focusing on the development of Classical Hollywood film music, the Classical Musical film, television incidental music, MTV and beyond. -
