For non-School of Music students only. MHM 341 or 345. Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, Serialism, Neo-classicism and Chance are some of the themes covered. Genres to be discussed include keyboard and chamber music, symphonic works, opera and other vocal forms. Students should have taken at least one course in the appreciation, theory or history of music or the equivalent.
Instruction is in the form of lectures and tapes of the works studied.
Two tests and a final examination serve to evaluate student progress. The course follows MHM 345 in sequence. May be repeated for credit. Dealing with musical life in the USA today, the course will be organized topically rather than chronologically. Much of the course will be devoted to exploring these differences in perspective and sharing them with class members.
