THRY 8012 - Set Theory 2

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This intensive seminar explores the theoretical basis and analytical application of post-tonal music-theoretical concepts through a detailed and critical study of the main literature on the topic. Readings are selected based on how they participate in the history of ideas, as well as how they develop particular areas of study. They provide an introduction to the theoretical contributions of main scholars in the field (Babbitt, Lewin, Morris, Forte, Perle, Straus, Hasty, Cohn, etc.) and are considered as models for creative thinking and scholarly processing. Topics covered can vary, but typically include segmentation, relationships between sets, inversional balance, composing-out, interval cycles, transpositional combination, contour, twelve-tone invariants, combinatoriality, and twelve tone areas.
