MUM 4420

Dear all(students in particular)

This is my subject this semester:
MUM4420- Research Methods
In short, this is general musicology encompassing comments in mostly all genres.This includes genres from the classical period,popular music,20th and 21st century music, music of particular genre (include discussion of the sexuality of the composer as well!).I have a thesis to do as well in any of this topic and I am already way behind schedule and should have chosen my topic-Have not. :) Will come up with something by this week or else.


MUM4120- 20th and 21st Century Music
My particular research will be on my favourite composer -Bela Bartok, his 6 dances of the Bulgarian Rhythm in the Mikrokosmos series.
Apart from this, I will be required to familiarise myself with music of this 20th and 21st century...so,I have list of listening to do and will be asked to sit for a listening test somewhere near the future.(Very soon actually!)and write a review on it.Not easy to appreciate,I admit.

Think that's all I will talk about. Expect more postings soon- (fingers crossed!)If not,simply just email me. :)
