MU 101 - Introduction to Music


A focus on masterpieces of Western music in their historical and cultural contexts from the Middle Ages to the present.  The goals of the course are to awaken and encourage an appreciation of music, to help students learn to respond intelligently to a variety of musical idioms, and to engage students in the debates on the character and purpose of music that have occupied composers and musical thinkers since Antiquity.  Students will also develop listening skills through a study of the basic elements of music: notation, melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, texture, and form, and how they are employed in various musical styles.  

Four credits.
