DESCRIPTION:
MUSI 272 is the fourth semester of an integrated two year music theory
sequence. This course continues the study of the harmonic,
melodic, and contrapuntal practices of music from the 17th century to
the present. We will begin with a review of extended tertian
harmony. We will continue with an examination of various topics
which characterize the compositional, theoretic, and analytic concepts
of the 20th century. MUSI 272 is coordinated
with MUSI 272X and will parallel the concepts presented there as much
as
possible.
