Music Humanities
Runs from the week of May 24 to Jul 23
Equivalent to Music F1123 and C1123. Part of the Core Curriculum since 1947,

are to awaken and encourage in students an appreciation of music in the
Western world, to help them learn to respond intelligently to a variety of
musical idioms, and to engage them in the various debates about the

thinkers since ancient times. The course attempts to involve students
