Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

A study of Beethoven's monumental and idiosyncratic setting of the Latin mass. The work will be considered from the perspective of its musical style and form and of its place in the 18th-century tradition of sacred composition. Its relationship to masses by other Classical composers - Haydn and Mozart in particular - will be examined, as will the problems posed by sacred music in an age of secular Enlightenment. Grade based on in-class oral report, 2 written essays on assigned topics, and a listening quiz. Prerequisite: MHST 111 (1 credit) Smith
