MUS 202(S) Music Theory and Musicianship II

Music 202 proceeds to the study of twenty-century practices including harmony, scales and modes, rhythmic techniques, new formal ideas, serial procedures, and set theory. It also covers more recent musical developments including aleatorism, minimalism, electronic music, post-modernism, eclecticism, and other techniques.
