First-Year Courses in Music History and Musicology (Division 678)

Fall Term, 1999 (September 8 - December 22, 1999)

It is possible for LS&A students to elect a concentration program in music, and this program is described in the LS&A Bulletin. In addition, music courses are frequently elected by LS&A students not concentrating in Music. Courses in Music History/Musicology, Composition, and Music Theory are elected for LS&A credit. Some of these courses can be used in an area distribution plan. LS&A students may elect music PERFORMANCE courses for degree credit, but this credit counts toward the maximum twelve non-LS&A credit hours that can be applied toward an AB/BS degree or twenty non-LS&A credit hours that can be applied toward a BGS degree. Courses in Music History/Musicology, Composition, Music Theory, and Performing Arts Technology are listed in the Time Schedule under the School of Music.

The following courses count as LS&A courses for LS&A degree credit.

Musicology 341 is a course designed to improve classical music listening skills through an understanding of the music's organizational principles and historical development from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Experiencing fully the beauty and mystery of music requires conscious listening, an activity that engages our minds as well as our senses. The aim in this course is to acquire and to use musical knowledge in the service of increasing musical awareness, sensitivity, and enjoyment.

This course will introduce students to the musical cultures of a few, select musical areas of the world (such as the Caribbean, West Africa, India, and Eastern Europe). Three lectures a week will be supplemented by listening tapes available at the School of Music and the Listening Lab in MLB. Students will be evaluated on the basis of listening quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam. The department regards this course as a companion to MHM 341, Introduction to Music, a course for non-music concentrators that stresses European concert music.
