MUSIC 0419 - THEORY 4
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The emphasis of this course will be the analysis of contemporary music from around the world. A member of the composition/theory faculty will teach the course. In addition, ethnomusicology faculty will lead class sessions on a variety of conceptual approaches to music-making and the organization of sound throughout the world. This approach to music theory aims to benefit from the knowledge and experience of the broader music faculty. The first half of the semester will focus on developing the analytic techniques necessary for a careful investigation of a particular musical component (melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and so on). In the second half of the semester, students will focus on close analyses of particular pieces of music, with attention to the cultural context and aesthetic values that define individual works.
