LTCL Music Composition Special Program
Six Lecture-talks of Contemporary Music:
Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Meaning of Contemporary Music
While Stravinsky gave seven talks to the students of Harvest University, Leung Sir also give a series of lecture-talk for the coming two months. The topics will include six contemporary composers and their seminal works. By considering their creative techniques, as well as the underlying ideas and concepts, together with the socio-cultural contexts that may influence their works, these six talks will attempt to posit an analytical-explication of such works. This lecture-talk will not only help the compositional students to plan and organize their compositions, but also enhance a better way of understanding of contemporary works, which is important for the musicians and music lovers.
