Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage adult learners in a new music learning activity that deepens understanding of recent music history in general and George Crumb in particular. We will be successful if discussion and listener reflections indicate that learners are increasing their knowledge of Crumb’s historical significance and the impact his sound world has had on new music today. 2: Present an activity through which learners explore the sound world of George Crumb and translate their learning to the creation of a composition. We will be successful if the interactive compositional activity we create enables learners to create varied compositions that exhibit individuality as well as the influence of George Crumb’s musical world.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants increased their understanding of George Crumb’s unique place in our music history and increased their understanding of his music. 2: Participants created compositions that reflected the sound world of George Crumb.
