The Artist in the Third Reich

July 1-August 7/Tuesday, Thursday, 9:15-11:45 a.m.
Room: NSL 404
Anne-Marie Reynolds

In this course we will explore the careers and creations of select composers, painters, actors and film makers, whose lives and creative efforts were irrevocably altered by the Nazis’ rise to power. In the process we will address the various moral and ethical choices they faced as they pursued their art, as well as those that we as artists face today. The first half of the course will be driven by a memoir about two players in the orchestra Hitler established for Jewish musicians (The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany, by Martin Goldsmith). We will consider the ways in which the Nazis used certain specific Classical compositions for propagandistic purposes, and how these very same works functioned as statements of protest for prisoners in concentration camps. Similarly, the second half of the course will deal with how differently popular music was viewed by the Nazis as compared to members of the Resistance, and will center on a historical novel about the experiences of a gay, black, jazz pianist interred in Dachau (Clifford’s Blues, by John A. Williams). Finally, we will reflect on moral and ethical choices artists face today, as well as ways in which the arts continue to serve manipulative purposes.

Famous artists who will figure in our study include film maker Leni Riefenstahl, actor-director Kurt Gerron, actor Gustaf Gründgens, orchestra conductor Wilhelm Fürtwängler, and composers Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill, and Carl Orff, as well as painters vilified in the Nazis’ Degenerate Art Exhibit. Through reading, listening, viewing films, writing and discussion, we will come to understand the crucial role the arts played in the Nazis’ rise to power and persecution of the Jews, as well as in the resistance mounted against them.

Room: ESM 070
Ciro Scotto

This course is for performers, composers, music educators, music theorists, or any musician who would like to build and maintain a web site with an emphasis on musical activity. This course will help you build an online resume and digital portfolio, put course materials online, or simply build a personal web site. The first week is designed to teach students the essentials of building and maintaining a multimedia web site. Students will learn HTML, the basic language for constructing web sites. Learning HTML frees a web designer from the limitations of web design programs, and leads to the creation of more professional looking web sites. Students will also learn the basics of Cascading Style Sheets, a more advanced form of HTML used for creating advanced layouts. Taught as a combination of lectures and hands-on creation. Students will create a multilayered web site as part of a class project. The course is taught on mostly Macintosh as well as some Windows machines. Applicants do not need any prior knowledge of computers or web site construction. For more information, contact Ciro Scotto at (585) 274-1562 or cscotto@esm.rochester.edu.

The second week of the Web Site Construction course will introduce more advanced topics related to web site construction, such as frames, layout using tables, and advanced use of cascading style sheets to create dynamic layouts. The main focus of the second week will be preparing the content for a multimedia website. For example, we will learn how to create graphics of scores for insertion into a web site. We will also learn how to prepare any graphic for web presentation. Sound is an essential part of any multimedia website, so we will learn how to create and prepare sound files for the web. Students can bring any recordings of their performances or compositions to prepare for online presentation. Applicants do not need any prior knowledge of computers, programming, or audio technique. Prerequisite for Web Site Construction II is the successful completion of Web Site Construction I. For more information, contact Ciro Scotto at (585) 274-1562 or cscotto@esm.rochester.edu.
