Music defines our media experiences. Musical themes can likewise go beyond their original audiovisual framework to operate as musical-cultural texts. This online, asynchronous course uses music as a tool to investigate musical branding and the creation of meaning in the media we consume every day. Through close viewings and listenings of films, television episodes, video games, commercials, and other media, this course will explore the meaning(s) these media construct and acquire as both they and their music are re-used and re-purposed in multimedia franchises that expand their content into myriads of installments and platforms.

This graduate theory seminar consults literature in the field of music cognition to explore how it may inform music analysis, which in turn has implications for both performer and listener.
Please note that, depending on the country you are in for the summer and its government policies, some course material may not be available since external links may be blocked. This should not preclude you from registering for the course, but know that you may run into occasional issues.
Since these are summer courses, they will cost the standard per credit tuition fee. Current academic year per-credit fees are listed here under “Supplementary Study.” You do not need to pay this in advance; you will be billed as usual.
