Humanities Teacher Award winner Justin Sharp (East Central Community College) will present his public lecture, “The Nocturne: Listening to Music Through Imagery and Imagination.” This presentation will take place at the Ovid S. Vickers Fine Arts Building on ECCC’s Decatur campus. Reception to follow.
When we listen to music, we constantly make mental associations, form images in our minds, and develop those images within our imagination. By examining the nocturne, a 19th-century genre of piano music, we will discover insight into the role of imagery and imagination in our music listening experience.
