MUS 69A - Music Fundamentals and Species CounterpointSemester Hours: 3
Fall
May be substituted for MUS 69 as the first required course for music
majors in the music theory sequence, and should be taken concurrently
with MUS 61 or 61A. It is intended for students who, on the basis of a
placement examination, have demonstrated a need for intensive training
in music fundamentals beyond that normally covered in MUS 69. It is
organized in two parts: 1) an intensive and comprehensive survey of the
fundamentals of music theory; 2) training in the writing and analysis
of two-part species counterpoint in the manner of Fux. Emphasis is
given to the development of a general understanding of fundamental
principles of music theory and to the principles of voice leading and
melodic structure that is most useful in the study of tonal harmony.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Corequisite: MUS 61 or 61A or permission of the department. Enrollment limited
to music majors or prospective music majors.
