This course explores visual perception and the use of optical illusion, in particular, in conjunction with special timbre and sound effects in music. Most examples derive from 19th -century works, including writings in philosophy, science, literature, fine arts, and magic. We will see how a tighter connection between sight and sound in Romantic music related to developments in contemporary arts and science. We will discuss how an increasingly suspicious approach to vision’s credibility brought about a blurred distinction between illusion and truth and consequently, how this elevated the status of listening and likely contributed to a changing culture of listening. The first half of the semester will focus on developments in optical science, industry, and technology hand in hand with a changing interpretation of senses and the invention of optical gadgets and devices. The second half of the semester will devote to a series of case studies that reflect how the idea of optical illusion was possibly “translated” into the use of offstage sound in both instrumental music and operas.
This course is designed primarily for graduate music majors. Non-music majors are recommended to sit in week 1's class session and discuss with the course instructor before deciding whether enrolling in this course would be feasible.
