MUSI 320 - Music Theory V 20th Century Compositional Practices

Institution:

Augustana College - South Dakota

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the multiple stylistic practices of the twentieth century, beginning with the extension of tonality to a point of tonal ambiguity. First, chromatic elements in a tonal context are explored, including exotic scalar materials and exceptions to tertian structures. Analysis of atonal music is approached with two primary foci: non-serial atonality and serial atonality. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of non-serial atonal music through pitch-class set analytical procedures. Study of formal practices of twentieth-century music emphasizes the resurgence of contrapuntal techniques and processes. NOTES: PREREQUISITE: MUSI 221 OFFERED EVERY FALL SEMESTER
