MUSC 1132 Music Theory 2
The study of the materials and structure of music is critical to the performing and professional musician as well as all musicians seeking to improve comprehension of musicianship skills. In this second part of a four-semester sequence, students will examine topics such as: cadences, non-harmonic tones, texture, species counterpoint, four-voice chorale style, melodic form and structure, diatonic and secondary harmony, binary and ternary forms through analysis and composition. This course is intended for music majors and minors, or the prepared student who desires a rigorous music theory experience. Typically, these could be students who have studied music through high school or community programs.
