Music Theory through Performance and Composition

MUS 106

Info tab content
Harmony and modality in 3 speeds: fast (chorale); slower (late classical, rock, romanticism) and slow (new modality, minimalism). We will also examine harmony as a result of process (serialism, for instance). We will consider the speeds of harmonic motion, and their effect on the resulting music, both theoretically and creatively through exercises and composition. It is assumed that you have some familiarity with classic tonal chorales and that will inform the bespoke chorales we make to get to grips with underlying harmony. The course is designed to help you analyze existing musical works, and compose your own harmonically rooted music.
