MUH.2011 Survey of Western Music I
A chronological survey of music in the western world for both music majors and non-majors with special attention paid to listening for content and to comprehending musical genre and form in their historical context. The fall semester will cover music from its earliest notated forms through the works of Ludwig van Beethoven. The second semester will cover works from the outbreak of Romanticism in the works of Franz Schubert through the recent avant-garde. Concert attendance and directed listening will be an integral part of this course. Students may enter the course in the spring.
