  • THRY 6001: Sixteenth-Century Counterpoint

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    Study of sixteenth-century modal counterpoint as found in the sacred vocal polyphony of such great masters of the period as Palestrina, Victoria, and Lasso. The study will be analytical (study of scores), technical (study of species counterpoint as systematized by Johann Joseph Fux in his famous Latin treatise of 1725, Gradus ad Parnassum), and stylistic (application of your analytical and technical knowledge to the composition of two-, three-, and four-voice pieces in "Counter-Reformation style").

  • THRY 6005: Eighteenth-Century Counterpoint

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    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.

  • THRY 6011: Special Topics in Composition

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This is a special topics course. Each edition of the course will be unique and reflective of the professional point of view of the course professor, who is a member of the CCM composition department. For example, the course could be a focused analytical study of a small range of repertoire, including music by the course professor. It could be a broader survey of a particular genre or movement in the world of new music. Equally, it could be a survey of the business environment around the production of new concert and stage music. The choice of course content will be made by balancing the needs of the composition students with the creative and research interests of the faculty. Although upper level undergraduate and graduate composers will participate equally in this course, graduate students will be assigned projects that will require significantly more in-depth research than those assigned to undergraduates.
