DESCRIPTION:
MUSI 172 is the second semester of an integrated two year music theory
sequence required of all music majors and minors. This course continues
the study of the harmonic, melodic, and contrapuntal practices of music
from the 17th and 18th centuries, but may include study of more recent
literature as well. We will begin with a review of topics from the
previous
semester. We will continue with an examination of various concepts
which
will lead to a solid understanding of diatonic modulation by the end of
the semester. MUSI 172 is coordinated with MUSI 172X and will parallel
the concepts presented there as much as possible.
