All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.

Walter Pater


There's sure passion in the human soul,

But finds its food in music.

George Lillo


The man that hath no music in himself,

Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,

Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;

The motions of his spirit are dull as night,

And his affections dark as Erebus:

Let no such man be trusted

The Merchant of Venice

William Shakespeare


The musician's art is to send light into the depth of men's hearts.

Robert Schumann


Music, the greatest good that mortals know,

And all of heaven we have below.

Joseph Addison


Without music, life would be a mistake.

Friedrich Nietzsche


If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. . .

I get more joy in life out of music.

Albert Einstein
For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned

as imperiling the whole state, since styles of music are never

disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.

Plato
Music is a safe kind of high.

Jimi Hendrix
Practice in minute detail until every note is imbued with internal life

and has taken its place in the overall design.

Pablo Casals
The best music always results from ecstasies of logic.

Alban Berg
Study Bach. There you will find everything.

Johannes Brahms
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom or philosophy.

Ludwig van Beethoven



MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Student,


Welcome to a new year of music at Illinois Wesleyan University. The aforementioned quotations bear witness to the unbounded powers of music. As a community of composers, performers, scholars, and teachers, let us begin the year with renewed commitment to the highest principles of musicianship and artistic expression, and let us work together to create an environment in which each of us is applauded for our successes, encouraged and supported during challenging times, and validated as unique talents and personalities.
This handbook is intended to provide answers to many of your questions regarding curricular and co-curricular matters and a variety of School of Music policies and procedures; I urge you to study it very carefully. Also, I encourage you to meet periodically with your advisor; I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this interaction. If you are a first-year student, you should meet with your Faculty Advisor, who is assigned by the Director of the School of Music. If you are a sophomore, junior, or senior, you should meet periodically with your Faculty Advisor. If a problem should arise in the course of your university experience, the music faculty suggests that you first seek the counsel of your advisor. If the problem cannot be resolved in this manner, then we suggest that you next speak with the department head who leads your program area. If after this second step the problem has still not been resolved, please feel free to seek my assistance, and, of course, if for some reason you should require my assistance directly, then, by all means, please come to see me during my office hours or by personal appointment.
Finally, it is an honor and a privilege for me to serve as the Director of the School of Music, and, as always, I am again looking forward to working closely with our esteemed music faculty, to welcoming our returning students, and to getting to know each of our new students.
Best wishes for a most exciting and memorable year.
Yours sincerely,

Dr. Mario J. Pelusi

Director and

Professor of Composition and Theory
