MUTH 252 - Deciphering Orchestral Scores: Score Reading, Orchestration, Timbre, OrganologyFC CNDP 4 credits In this course we will study and analyze “big” multi-instrumental works from the last 300 years. Students will have the opportunity to hone a number of “practical” musicianship skills such as transposition, clef-reading, “reducing” orchestral scores at the keyboard, conducting, and orchestration/arranging. We will also delve into “theoretical” topics such as the history of instrumentation, the structure and evolution of musical instruments (“organology”), acoustics, and the aesthetics of timbre and tone color.
Prerequisites: MUTH 132 and ESOL 120 (for students in ESOL sequence).
