Music 201 continues to greater degrees the study of music techniques from the common practice period by means of analysis, composition, written exercises, sightsinging, keyboard application and dictation. We will expand our understanding of chromaticism. We will learn how chromaticism is used as a voice-leading tool, and how it participates in music events at deeper levels of the structure. We will learn about innovations that occurred from the early XIX c through the beginning of the Xx c and will trace the origins for these new harmonic tendencies. We will also learn how composers create larger formal structures. Format: three lectures and two skills lab-sessions per week. Prerequisites: Music 104. Enrollment limit: 15.

Hour: PEREZ VELAZQUEZ (lecture) BODNER (lab)
