MU305 - Analyzing Music

This course investigates a diverse set of musical pieces to introduce analytical tools such as harmonic structure, counterpoint, voice leading, sonic analysis, textual/musical hermeneutics, historical/contextual analysis, and interdisciplinary analysis. It will consider the strengths and limitations of such approaches with respect to a variety of musical genres. The analytical exploration will be augmented by the development of listening and aural skills and enriched by creative exercises implementing the newly acquired tools. (Not offered 2025-26).
