To further enhance our understanding of the western tradition and contextualize the texts we study in DS, we invite you to explore the DS and Music web page. Curated by former and current DS students and faculty, the page is organized according to author and provides links to musical selections that are in some way related to the texts we read in DS. It is very much an evolving work in progress, and if you’d like to contribute, please write DUS, Katja Lindskog, at dus.directedstudies@yale.edu. We are in particular need of music to complement the readings from the fall semester.
We also encourage you to explore course offerings in Music History in the Department of Music.
