AESTHETICS OF MUSIC (MSC DEGREE) DELOCALIZE ART MUSIC: USES AND ABUSES IN CINEMA (L-ART/07) 6UEC - APPOINTED TEACHING PROFESSOR: GIOVANNI GUANTI
PROGRAM AND AIMS OF TEACHING. MUSIC COMPOSED SPECIFICALLY FOR MOVIES AND MUSIC USED IN FILMS ALTHOUGH CREATED IN DIFFERENT ERAS, DIFFERENT CONTEXTS AND FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES CAN BE SUBJECT OF THE SAME AESTHETIC JUDGMENT? WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT THIS DISPLACEMENT OR DELOCALISATION HAS SOMETIMES CAUSED A BRUTAL ALIENATION OF THE MUSIC, OTHER TIMES, A TRUE 'RENAISSANCE' OF IT, WITH THE PURCHASE OF NEW MEANINGS AND WIDER AUDIENCE. HENCE, THE NEED TO REFLECT ON CHANGES OF THE STATUTES OF "ART MUSIC" PRE-EXISTING AND SUBSEQUENT TO ITS USE IN THE CINEMA.
