The Norton Scores, Vol. We will examine several works from various historical periods and investigate ways to analyze these works.
Writing is an important part of the course.
We'll write from three to five short papers on the pieces we analyze in class and then write a major research paper on an individual topic. The object is to learn how to write well concerning our analyses. Attendance is mandatory and daily class participation in musical discussions is expected. In order to contribute to the class discussions in a meaningful way, you must prepare for class in advance. Written assignments turned in after the deadline will not be accepted.
