A musical score is often filled with symbols that dictate the sounds, but some scores deviate from this convention to pave their own paths. Instead of requiring a musician to read symbols to make sounds, these scores demand visual observation and imagination.
This lecture introduces the evolution of textual scores in the context of the long history of Western music and how the practice of notation changed during the 20th century, paying particular attention to the graphics mediated notational experiments that largely emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. A graphic designer joins the post-lecture conversation to share various examples of cases in which typography and music intersect.
