Advisory: Concurrent enrollment in MUSIC-35. This course, through guided composition, analysis, and cultural inquiry, incorporates the following concepts: rhythm and meter; basic properties of sound; intervals; diatonic scales and triads; diatonic chords; basic cadential formulas and phrase structure; dominant seventh; figured bass symbols; and non-harmonic tones; music as science, mathematics, and philosophy in Ancient Greek culture; musical form in the context of poetic, artistic, and architectural form. Students explore the history and evolution of music notation in the context of the growth of European vernacular literacy, and development of skills in handwritten notation is expected. In addition, the musicianship component of this course applies and develops the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic materials of the first semester of Music Theory through ear training, sight singing, analysis, and dictation, drawing from and examining musicals sources from European art music, traditional/folk music from American, European, and non-European cultures, and American popular music.
