THRY 6005 - Eighteenth-Century Counterpoint

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Through this course students will come to understand tonal counterpoint in its essential design and application to a series of model compositions. Students will first analyze melody (and idiomatic bass) lines and their polyphonic interaction, progress incrementally through short two- and three-voice exercises, and study general stylistic aspects of the topical repertory. They will then embark on the analysis and composition of small- to medium-size compositions in two and three voices, drawing from such works as solo (i.e., single-line) instrument movements, minuets (binary dance forms), sonatas for solo instrument and continuo, canons, inventions, rounds and catches, passacaglias, trio sonatas, and fugues.
