MMED-6300 Analytical Techniques

How do we gain a greater understanding of a composition and deepen our experience as listeners, performers, and teachers? Is identifying every vertical harmony all there is? This course addresses these questions by exploring alternate paths of analysis. First there is a review of traditional tonal and formal analysis. As we develop a musical language, we will go forward to analyze the works of Debussy, Hindemith, Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinski, and Bartok.
