DESCRIPTION:Throughout the twentieth century\, critical and scholarly pape
 rs on music promoted the idea of a non-visual mode of listening as an aest
 hetic ideal. This perspective\, with historical roots particularly in nine
 teenth-century German attitudes towards music\, has given way to a multi-m
 odal understanding during the twenty-first century\, which emphasizes the 
 total integration of the sonic and the visual in musical experiences: rece
 nt psychological and neuroscientific research also provides empirical supp
 ort for the idea that what we see greatly impacts what we hear. In this le
 cture Dr Dogantan-Dack explores these different modes of listening to musi
 c\, by considering scientific evidence\, as well as historical attitudes\,
  including the shift in French music aesthetics during the twentieth centu
 ry from a preference for a theatrical to a more non-visual listening. The 
 lecture will include various audio and video examples of music\, examples 
 of paintings from the nineteenth-century that depict deeply absorbed liste
 ning subjects engaging with music non-visually\, and more recent examples 
 from music videos and live performances that exploit the potential of the 
 visual to shape musical experiences.\n\nAdmission is by token\, one per pe
 rson\, available at the Courtyard Entrance desk on a first-come first-serv
 ed basis 30 minutes before the talk. Assisted hearing sets are available.
