Advanced Theory & Practice

Catalog description

Advanced level music theory. Courses under this general title introduce students to advanced music theoretic and analytical topics focusing on (i) the examination of a particular repertory and the theoretical/analytical tools developed for it (e.g. non-Western, popular, 19th/20th-century chromatic harmony) or (ii) the study and application of compositional styles or techniques (e.g. counterpoint or model composition). The courses build on techniques developed in Theory & Practice I and II.
