Wednesday's class

Dr. Virginia Houser performed for us in today's class, playing Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag (1899), Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune (1890/1905), and Le Petit Negre (1909), and making a presentation on ragtime music.  Our critical listening included these pieces performed by Doc Cheatham and Nicholas Payton: Black and Blue, How Deep Is the Ocean? and Jeepers Creepers.   We also reviewed for Friday's test, which will cover material from the lectures, videos, and listening.
