MUTH 319 - Analyzing Renaissance Music

FC CNDP
4 credits
In this course, we will gain familiarity with analytical techniques suitable for sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century music. We will learn to interpret sixteenth-century notation (including mensural notation and tablature), we will study sixteenth-century music theory, and we will explore pedagogical and analytical tools like solmization, counterpoint, mode, chromaticism, text setting, and rhetoric. We will discuss approaches to historical performance practice and historically-informed music analysis. Coursework will include performing from period sources, creation of a modern edition, and analysis of compositions by composers like Josquin des Prez, Orlando di Lasso, William Byrd, Claudio Monteverdi, and Francesca Caccini.Prerequisites and notes: MUTH 231.
