Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by a piece of music that penetrated deep into your soul? On CBC’s Tempo, Julie Nesralla calls it “music that rocked your world”. This course will ask you to bring a recording of the melody that sings forever in your head, and then tell us the story of the person who composed it. All magicians of music are good candidates, from Brahms to Billy Joel; from Rambeau to Ray Charles; from Rossini to Gershwin to Ellington to Dylan. The composers of the world are a fascinating group and we all should know more about them. If you agree, this course is for you.
