MUSC 351 Music Theory IV

This modular course, together with its corequisite applied musicianship component, will explore extensions of chromatic harmonic practice, explore larger formal models, survey compositional and analytic techniques of the 20th and 21st Centuries, and examine music that extends beyond the 12-note equal-tempered scale. Additional topics are chosen by the instructor in collaboration with students and Music Department colleagues. The culmination of the sequence includes a substantial scholarly analytical paper. The music studied will be chosen in partnership with students and Music Department colleagues with an eye towards diversity.
