...object of this course to give the student a thorough and accurate knowledge of the development of music from the time of its birth. Its progress and the new impulses that it received from the different masters are fully discussed. The opera - both the Italian and Bouffe - is taken up from the time of its invention, and in this connection the lives of the most prominent singers of the different centuries are studied. The composers of the Middle Ages receive a great deal of attention, and the advancement each one made is carefully pointed out. Later, the lives and works...
