GRMUS 633T — Music in Context

2 credits
Spring
Philip Lasser

An intensive special-topics course devoted to analyzing and discussing works that students are currently preparing for performance. Basic tools for contrapuntal, harmonic, and formal analysis will be established through examination of diverse works from the repertoire. Students will then apply these analytical techniques toward a work of their choosing as their final project and present in groups, an in-class lecture-performance discussing collaboratively the analysis and its relevance to interpretation. Open to individuals and chamber groups.
