Course Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze and label a passage of music in terms of harmony, form, tonal context and harmonic function, and to parse music and locate important moments of articulation.
- Articulate, in words (text or verbal), what is observed about a particular passage of music and to create an individual interpretation of a passage of music, citing specific elements from the music. In particular, students will discuss how to integrate hearing and notational analysis on more ambiguous chromatic passages.
- Compose progressions "from scratch" based on common harmonic idioms
- Explain how analysis decisions might affect performance decisions.
- Identify which model of harmony and/or form most closely corresponds to a work, explain how the work does and does not conform to the given model, and speculate why a composer might have incorporated particular deviations.
