MFA 502 Cinematic Score Study I

In order to solve the dramatic and story problems posed by all forms of on-screen media, composers need to understand how artists who have preceded them have grappled with the same problems, such as how to evoke sympathy, apprehension, terror, nostalgia, and the full compass of human emotional experience. During this course, you will study scores and analyze both iconic concert works and landmark film music to give you the foundation to develop your own style.

This course is 4.5 credits.
