Guided by a faculty mentor designated by the Music Department chair, this seminar will consist of an examination of the theme "Performance and Scholarship" through avariety of topics. In addition to participating in weekly class meetings, students will present a lecture recital (or acceptable alternative) to the class. The topic of the lecture-recital (or alternative) is to be chosen by the student, but must gain the approval and support of the faculty mentor and the Music Department. The lecture recital (or alternative) should be planned so as to lead to the design, prepara- tion, and execution of a project that contains both a public performance and a research component (see MUSC 494). Students should request guidelines for projects from the music chair at the beginning of the junior year. Prerequisites: MUSC 211, and MUSC 304 or 332, or consent of the instructor.

Guided by a faculty mentor designated by the Music Department chair, students will design, prepare, and execute a project that features a public performance and a research component. Typically, the performance will be a public, fulllength recital, but other options are possible. The research component normally will consist of a paper on a topic related to the public performance and that demonstrates the student's ability in music history or theory. The project must demonstrate methodological competence. It must draw on and extend knowledge, skills of analysis, and creative achievement developed through previous academic work. It must include a reflection on the social context, the body of literature, or the conceptual framework to which it is a contribution. Prerequisites: MUSC 493 and approval of the proposed project by the music faculty.
