With both an English and a music professor in the classroom for each session of this course, the intellectual sparks will fly. It's exciting enough to discuss the beauties of Emily Dickinson's poetry alone; combine that with the exploration of Aaron Copland's setting of Dickinson, and you've got the makings of an even greater adventure. And look at these other dynamic duos: John Dryden and George Frideric Handel, Walt Whitman and Paul Hindemith, Ben Jonson and Benjamin Britten, James Agee and Samuel Barber, William Carlos Williams and Steve Reich, and many more.The great virtue of team-teaching is the opportunity it affords students to experience not one but two fields of knowledge. At the same time learning is enriched because the professors are learning from each other! Come celebrate the uniqueness of music and literature and also their harmonious interaction.
"The class was great. Both professors were very helpful outside the class and stimulated good discussion in class."
