History 646
Music History is a one-term solid that meets every day. We
survey Western music against the background of the social,
economic, political, cultural, and philosophical developments
of the last 2,500 years. We examine significant composers,
their compositions, and musical styles.
Music
Theory 647
Music Theory is a one-term solid that meets every day. The
course investigates the craft of musical composition found in
the "Common Practice Period" of Western music (1600
- 1900), and develops a basic understanding of musical skills.
Extensive use of MIDI and music notation by computer are form
a basis for class activities, which include sight singing, ear
training, music writing, and music analysis. The textbook used
for Music Theory is "The
Tradition of Music Theory," by David Weirich |
