This course is conceived as an examination of restructural musics from the fifties/sixties time cycle and the role of three major artists in helping to influence and set the aesthetic agenda (and conceptual focus) of post-modern music evolution after the second World War. The course will use each artist as both a study in itself as well as a point of definition that relates to the broader subject of improvised music and related artists (and/or 'musics'). There will be listening assignments every class -- four papers will also be required, one research paper and two listening 'recognition' tests.
