MUSI 240 Music Theory III

A continuation of work completed in the first year of Music Theory. The content of the class includes chromaticism, more advanced elements in part writing, form analysis, melodic harmonization, large-scale formal structures, secondary functions, augmented sixths chords, modulation, and projects that focus on expanded analytical, compositional and arranging activities. Instruction will be integrated with music technologies. This will serve: (1) as a means to complement and enhance student learning about hands on music theory, and (2) as an opportunity to express analytical ideas in academic form. This is the continuation of a foundational block of courses designed to provide students a sufficient knowledge base in theory and aural skills. Offered every Fall Term.
