MUSIC 203 - History of Western Art Music:Baroque and Classical

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

From the early operas of Monteverdi to the oratorios of Handel and the cantatas of Bach, the Baroque composer aimed to "affect" his listener through powerful musical contrasts and rhetorical passions; Haydn, Mozart, and the young Beethoven, on the other hand, were more interested in projecting formal logic and proportional design in their sonatas, string quartets, symphonies, and other instrumental works. The course surveys tradition and change in Baroque and classical music and is based on selected readings, recordings, and scores. (Berta , offered every third semester)
