Through music you can take a journey through the history of peoples"

Music has become a form of human expression. All cultures and societies have their own sounds that tell their history, resulting in a resource little used by historians, but which is of utmost importance. Since the time of ancient Egypt, there are already records of famous singers performing to the public in temples and palaces. On the other hand, in India one can find Vedic hymns that were written to be sung, thus creating the first musical notation system.

In contrast, the history of cinema is more "recent" but with a marked influence of Aristotle's thought on the "camera obscura", an approach in which it was expressed as light passing through a small hole made in a room closed on all sides, projecting an image in front. Thus began what today would constitute a source of entertainment or a means of political and social criticism.

For all these reasons, studying both elements (film and music) is indispensable for any historian who wishes to understand the world around them from the events of the past. Thus, with this postgraduate diploma, students will find an opportunity to learn and propel their careers to the next level, dedicating themselves to the conservation of audiovisual heritage in museums or serving as consultants to recreate the music of a particular era in films and television series.
