PROFESSOR'S ADDENDUM - The Sound of Music is the best known and most beloved musical on film. A careful viewing of the musical episodes in the original film will provide the musical genres for exploring. Austrian culture through music: song, dance, hymn, music for the concert hall, and music for the stage. A route from the Middle Ages to the present, we will encounter a Medieval bard, the Vienna Boys' Choir, child genius Mozart, heroic Beethoven, Franz Schubert's supernatural realms, the music of Empire and post-Empire, and Austria's main contribution to Europop. Our musical experiences today will be enhanced by a knowledge of the musicians, their goals, and their means for reaching an audience. No musical background is required but you will need access to a playback device and YouTube. You can expect plenty of concert clips, live perfomances (mine), a concert in Innsbruck and an afternoon trip to Salzburg: Mozart's birthplace and the location for the film.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
