Course Description:
This course considers milestones in music from the late twelfth century through the early twentieth century. The first unit begins with the work of Notre Dame's Léonin and Pérotin and moves on to explore masterworks by fourteenth- through seventeenth-century composers, among them Machaut, Josquin, Palestrina, and Monteverdi. The next unit, on milestones in eighteenth-century composition, looks at selected works of Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel. The second half of the course will consider milestones in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, with special focus on the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Wagner, and Debussy. Students will write short, critical papers, attend concerts in Hartford and New York, and do a lot of listening. |
