MUSI 1401 - Craft and Rhetoric of Tonal Literature I


4 hrs

Study of selected musical literature from a variety of traditions through score analysis and critical listening to derive, explain, and work creatively with tonal materials through performance, composition, improvisation, and collaborative activities; emphasis is placed on the consideration of varied stylistic conventions whereby composers and musicians express musical ideas through the manipulation and combination of musical parameters such as text and melody, rhythm and meter, linear harmonic function, texture, and form; the selected musical literature increases in density of complexity each term.
