During the Age of Enlightenment, as the repercussions of earlier scientific discoveries by Copernicus, Galileo, and, later, Newton began to usher in sweeping changes in society's fundamental worldview, artists and musicians moved outside the traditional boundaries to explore new frontiers in the arts. Guided by a student host, this montage of art, music, and narration takes viewers through a century of revolutionary upheavals in a time that produced Mozart and Beethoven (the acknowledged titans of classical music), the neo-classicism of Goya (later more of a Romantic) and Jacques-Louis David, and the light-hearted Rococo movement. An enclosed study guide includes discussion points, cross-references to other societal influences (such as the philosophies of Voltaire and Rousseau), a transcript of the video script, and useful web links. One of eight titles in the Art and Music Series, Second Edition, other entries include: Medieval Art and Music, Renaissance Art and Music, Romanticism in Art and Music, Impressionism in Art and Music and Twentieth-Century Artistic Revolutions.
