6418 The Joy of Schubert
Tuesdays, 10:35 a.m. - noon (TUC)

H. L Mencken wrote that Franz Schubert was, to music, "its great heart, as Beethoven was its great mind. In all the history of music there has never been another man of such stupendous natural talents." This course will explore the beautiful music and the fascinating life of Schubert, the most enigmatic and personal of the great composers. We will listen to major works, including songs, symphonies, piano pieces, chamber works, and operas. If possible we will attend a performance of Schubert’s music (optional field trip) and hear guest performers. The course requires no formal musical training--Schubert’s music of heavenly beauty and profound despair still speaks to all listeners.

Moderator: Heather Arden is a retired UC professor who has returned to studying the piano. She is currently engaged in writing a book on Schubert.

2306 Hero/ Heroine's Journey I NEW
Tuesdays, 2:35 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (RWC)

We will continue our great drama series by reading and viewing Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.”
Moderator: James Bridgeland, Jr., BA (MCL) Akron Univ., MA and JD Harvard Univ.; advanced studies in literature at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

2104 Hero/ Heroine's Journey II NEW
Thursdays, 2:35 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (RWC)

We will read and discuss stories by three 20 th Century writers whose work deals with mysteries of our inner lives, our relationship with others, and with the enigmas of our being. The stories we will talk about are “Clytie,” “ A Memory” and “A Curtain of Green,” by Eudora Welty; “The Ballad of the Sad Café,” by Carson McCullers; and “A Good Man Is Hard To Find,” by Flannery O’Connor.

Moderator: James Bridgeland, Jr., BA (MCL) Akron Univ., MA and JD Harvard Univ.; advanced studies in literature at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
