    As the liberal arts capstone activity, the Senior Seminar involves a major research project and discussion on a topic to be mutually determined between the instructor and the student(s). Most, if not all, topics will focus on one or more elements of serious art music in relation to an interdisciplinary study. Such studies include, but are not limited to, historical positions and value of repertoire in relation to socio-cultural environment, textural studies, or analytical studies of a variety of repertoire to determine the uniqueness of style. In the course of preparing the final element of the seminar, a major term paper, each student will apply the five liberal arts competencies emphasized throughout their career in the Liberal Arts Core curriculum. In order to register for the Senior Seminar (MUL421), a student must have completed all required music core courses through MUT 328, must have given their Junior Recital, and attained senior standing in the School of Music. Two hours.

    After looking at the transitional nature of the career of Beethoven, the growth of romantic style will be examined through the study of specific works by Schubert, Weber, Berlioz, Schumann, Wagner, Brahms, and Mahler. The considerable influence of Beethoven, especially his later works, will be seen throughout this period. Important themes of Romanticism, such as the union of text and music, and the longing for the past among others, will be considered. Also a part of this study will be the 'private' nature of solo vocal and solo piano literature, as will the contrasting and highly public virtuosic expression heard in the works of numerous composers such as Chopin and Liszt. After 1840, there is also the Romantic avant-garde led by Liszt and Wagner through program music and opera. The last half of the Romantic Century also saw a revival of symphonic writing at the hand of Brahms and others. Through the 19th century, the awareness and understanding of the many different types of symbolism expressed in all areas of music led audiences into the musical experience at levels not attained in the past. Skills in formal analysis, critical listening, and style recognition will be stressed throughout this course. Prerequisite: MUL 303, junior standing, or permission of instructor. Three hours.
