(real time availability for all sections)

This course will survey devotional and secular music composed and performed between 700-1400 C.E. It will be organized around the five most important sites of medieval musical activity—the monastery, the castle, the cathedral, the city, and the palace.

Course Requirements:

Students will be asked to prepare for lectures and discussions by completing assigned reading (on reserve and on the web) and listening assignments (on-line and on reserve). They should expect two 15-20-page papers and two essay examinations at midterm and finals.

Intended Audience:

This course is intended for upper division music undergraduates (400 level) and music graduate students (500 level); non-music students are welcome, provided they are capable of reading modern musical notation.
