MUTH 415 - Analysis and Performance

First Semester. The course focuses on the analysis and performance of tonal and non-tonal music. Selected compositions from the Baroque to the present are vehicles through which students will learn concepts and explore the ways in which analysis informs the act of performance. Students will learn all of the selected works as well as two works of their own choosing that shall be the subjects for small- and large-scale projects. Daily preparation involves listening, analysis, score reading, and in-class discussion. Students will on occasion be asked to perform in class, and to read articles or chapters from books. The final project will include a paper and a lecture/ performance.
