Music Appreciation
Music Appreciation is an introduction to music in Western civilization. The course examines performance media and the materials of music: melody, rhythm, harmony, form, timbre, texture, dynamics, and musical style. Emphasis will be placed on the development of analytical listening skills, written analysis, and on understanding the literature and compositional styles of major composers of each musical era: medieval, renaissance, and baroque music; 18th century classicism and 19th century romanticism; and music from the 20th century to the present.
