WOMEN IN MUSIC IN THE WESTERN WORLD:
FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO TODAY
Women's music-making has always been a profound
part of human life, from the singing of lullabies to
infants to the ritual keening for the dead. Yet women
have been severely restricted as professional
musicians in most societies. This course will introduce
and celebrate some of the inspiring women who
nevertheless flourished within the “classical” music
tradition: composers, virtuosi and in some cases
passionate activists, from the 12th-centuryvisionary
Hildegard of Bingen to Toronto composer Ann
Southam (1937-2010). Each class will include listening,
and the lecturer will provide insights into musical
language of each era under discussion.

FILM MUSIC: THE NEGLECTED ART
One of the most misunderstood and least
appreciated aspects of moviemaking is the film
score. Even though music has been an integral part
of movies since the silent era, many believe that the
best film score is the kind that you don’t notice. In
this course, instructor Kevin Courrier addresses
that perception by tracing the long and fascinating
history of movie music, while also examining the
works of many of the art form’s great and varied
composers. From the piano player in the theatre pit
to the European exiles who created the golden
years of Hollywood, the course will explore the
relevance of movie music and whether or not a
good score can save a bad picture (or whether a
bad score can ruin a good one). The class will also
examine the impact of pop music on films and the
renaissance of orchestral music in the late 70s with
“Star Wars”. Including film clips that illustrate how
the film score works, this course bring to students
an added awareness of the strong impact music can
have on movies.

FORBIDDEN DESIRES: THE FILMS OF ALFRED
HITCHCOCK AND BRIAN DE PALMA
Voyeurism has always been an integral part of the
appeal of motion pictures.But what film directors
Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma did in their
work was to make it an acceptable dramatic
strategy. In the thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock (The 39
Steps, Strangers on a Train, Vertigo, Psycho), he
was able to manipulate our responses by pulling
the rug out from under our expectations of
conventional drama. Brian De Palma (Carrie,
Dressed to Kill, Blow Out) later borrowed
Hitchcock's cinematic language to take us deeper
and further into more contemporary issues of
sexual fear and political unrest. This course
examines how both directors, with cunning intent,
force us, the viewing audience, to face our hidden
fascination with our own perverse fantasies, our
own forbidden desires.

ROADS TO PERDITION:
THE DARK ALLURE OF FILM NOIR
For over 70 years, moviegoers havebeen drawn to
the ambiguous and cynical world of film noir. In
this lecture series, critic and author Kevin Courrier
examines the reasons for the genre's longevity.
Derived from hardboiled crime fiction (The Postman
Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity) in the years
following World War II, film noir has its roots in
German expressionist films of the early 20th
Century. Courrier will trace these origins, delve into
classic noirs (The Big Sleep, Detour and Strangers
on a Train) and show how this cinematic tradition
continues in contemporary works, such as L.A.
Confidential, Mulholland Drive, and The Big
Lebowski.

THE ENIGMATIC GENIUS OF ROBERT ALTMAN
Although film director Robert Altman worked in
Hollywood for most of his career, he didn't make
typical Hollywood movies; even his non-Hollywood,
low budget productions (Secret Honour) differed
from conventional independent fare. Because his
films transcended their genre, they rarely became
hits. Despite this, Robert Altman was one of
the most prolific and idiosyncratic of American
directors.
Film critic Kevin Courrier will examine how Altman
redefined the genre picture in the war film
(M*A*S*H*), the western (McCabe and Mrs. Miller),
the detective story (The Long Goodbye), the
musical (Nashville), murder mystery (Gosford Park),
and theatre (Come Back to the Five and Dime,
Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean). We will also examine
how his movies worked between the lines of con-
ventional story-telling to give us compelling and
elliptical dream worlds, revealing the struggles of
the independent artist continually in conflict with the
world of commerce.

“SOMEONE TO RUN WITH” BY DAVID GROSSMAN
(2004) / REVIEWED BY ANNA SHTERNSHIS
Author of six novels and three works of nonfiction,
Grossman is one of Israel’s finest and most
provocative writers. “Someone to Run With” is set
during the waning days of the Oslo era, shortly
before Grossman’s hopes for peace were dashed by
the outbreak of the second intifada. The story fol-
lows Israeli teenagers Assaf and Tamar, and Dinka,
a golden Labrador that eventually brings them to-
gether.
