Aesthetic Realism Foundation

This class is based on the Aesthetic Realism principle "Art is that which, through an individual, shows the oneness of the permanent opposites in reality." We study music—from Bach's Magnificat to Duke Ellington's "The Mooche," from the Gregorian Chant and the music of Ghana and India to contemporary Rock 'n' Roll—in relation to lectures and works by Eli Siegel, such as "Music Tells What the World Is Like" and "Animate and Inanimate Are in Music and Conscience," and Martha Baird's "Separation and Junction in Prokofiev and Johnny Dodds" and "Music Is Real."
