MUSC 244 is a new interdisciplinary course that will connect traditional academic studies (musicology, theory and analytical techniques) of seventeenth and eighteenth century music with performance practices and skills. Students will engage in an intensive study of Baroque and Pre-Classic vocal and instrumental genres through lectures, select reading assignments, musical analysis, concert attendance and master-classes. The performance of an eighteenth century oratorio (Trionfo per lâAssunzione della Santissima Vergine, 1705 by Nicola Ceva) represents the final project and primary grade basis for this course. Students will also be provided with private lesson instruction to prepare for the representation of the oratorio. Given the considerable breath of this course, students will be asked to arrive on campus during the New Student Orientation period in August. The Department of Performing Arts will arrange housing and meals. During this time, we will initiate the semester with an intensive series of master-classes introducing Baroque and Pre-Classic performance practices.

This course is an overview of American music in the concert hall. The line between âclassicalâ and âpopularâ musics in the United States is a fluid one, and while the course will focus on so-called âart music,â a number of American traditions including jazz, popular, and religious music will be explored. Students should expect to listen to composers as diverse as William Billings, Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, John Cage, and Elliott Carter. In doing so we will hear how American composers developed a distinct American sound. Students should expect significant listening and reading assignments, class presentations, and exams. All students need to be able to read music at a basic level.

The course provides a survey of research in neuroscience currently underway at Georgetown University. Each semester the course is given, 16 faculty present the research topic being studied in their laboratories with emphasis on experimental design strategies and choices. Different faculty are chosen to present in different semesters. Students are given a reading list for each topic and the formal presentation by the faculty member is followed by an interactive discussion session. Students prepare a mini-grant proposal on a research topic chosen in consultation with the course director and a faculty member with expertise on the topic.

With the facilitation by a faculty member, the students read and critically evaluate current research literature. All students are responsible for reading and âdissectingâ every paper; one paper is read and critically analyzed for two weeks. The class is conducted by the students, as in the case of âproblem-based [case-based] learningâ, where the research article is treated as the âcase.â Analysis is conducted by identifying the âgivenâ facts from previous research and the hypotheses that the authors are attempting âto prove.â The methods (Experimental Design) and results are critically examined in the context of the hypotheses. Before evaluating the conclusions, the class generates a list of questions and âLearning Objectivesâ which they fulfill by researching previous literature prior to the second week. The second session begins with a discussion of the information relevant to the Learning Objectives and the questions raised during the first week are answered before critically evaluating the conclusions of the paper. The faculty member helps to facilitate the discussion and maintain a good balance of student participation.
