It is not necessary to be in possession of any kind of technical knowledges about musical language or practical skills in music to sign up for this course although having elementary basic notions on music would be of aid. More important are the students’ knowledges and interests for social and cultural European history from French Revolution up to now. It is primarily important, however, to show critical capacity to connect different artistic, cultural and historical events in logical, coherent and reasoned arguments,
The aim goal of this subject is to provide students with enough conceptual, methodological and procedural tools to understand the use of music in contemporary societies, as well as the main transformation lines of European music and its contextualization inside contemporary society and culture. Understanding the complexity of some connections between particular musical masterpieces and others belonging to different fields of art, literature and philosophy so that the students be able –once the course has finished- to stablish, for themselves, new relationships, and be able to express opinions in speech and writing and by all other means of expression.

The course has got a profile which combines theoretical and practical character. So, it alternates demonstrative general theoretical sessions with others in which proactive participation of students will be required through commentary of texts, images and musical auditions, as well as by means of debates those commentaries could have provoked.
To sum up, there will be:
1/ master-classes: exhibition and synthesis of subjects, always accompanied with audio and visual recordings.
2/ practical sessions organised by analysis of some philosophical or literary texts, art masterworks, or great pieces of music.
3/ Monitoring of the music auditions.
4/ Tutorials addressed to supervise students’ work and questions.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
