Berlioz once said that his life was a romance that fascinated him, and life and art have never been so intertwined as they were with him. This course will explore Berlioz's music and life in his own words, exploring his literary and visual influences, along with the impact he had on other musicians, writers and artists.
Berlioz was much more than a composer. His whole life was a masterpiece, which he commemorated in one of the best memoirs of any creative figure. His dual command of music and language made him the archetypal Romantic: all-embracing, multi-faceted and innovative. He once said that his life was a romance that fascinated him, and life and art have never been so inter-twined as they were with him. This course will explore his music and life in his own words, exploring his literary and visual influences, along with the impact he had on other musicians, writers and artists.
