This course is an introduction, using the techniques of musicology, music theory, and cultural history, to the styles and performance practices of the musics of the European medieval and Renaissance periods. The students learn to read and to perform these works from the original notations. We make our own music. We use no recordings. Students must learn to perform vocal parts.
Attendance is mandatory.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list.
