Subject:

Description:

This course analyzes several works that changed the way composing is considered: the cinematographic intercutting of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps and the ironic Bach appropriations of his Symphony of Psalms; the textural overlayering of Ives's Three Places in New England; the elegant mathematical proportioning of Bartók'sMusic for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta; the delicate symmetries of Webern's Symphonie, Op. 21; the tonal organization of Stockhausen's Gruppen; and the compelling, multitempo climaxes of Nancarrow's Study No. 36.
