Music Theory III

Catalog description

In this course students will follow up with their harmony studies. We will go through harmonic instances of advanced chromaticism of the late 19. century and up to the very edge of tonality. Emphasis will be put on assignments and exercises in order to develop good creative and analytical skills in harmony. Concurrently we will examine the main formal principles of tonal music and apply our knowledge in analysis of selected compositions. We will use various analytical approaches and test them on a large scale of historical musical material. Every student will be due to realize at least one analysis of assigned composition during the semester.
