MUTH 360 - Musical GrovesFC CNDP, DDHU 4 credits Musical grooves are characterized by three primary features: repetition, syncopation, and (at least two) coordinated layers. This course explores what constitutes a groove, what a groove does, and how groove contrasts with other kinds of musical forms. We will consider groove-based music across a wide range of historical styles ranging from Machaut to Mocean Worker, including Ars Antiqua hocket, ground-bass variations, 18th century dance styles, 20th-century ostinatos and loops, minimalisms, and popular musics. Assignments include readings from the recent literature on musical repetition, rhythmic and metric theory, musical entrainment, and musical temporality; listening and writing; score analysis; model composition. Prerequisites & Notes: MUTH 232; or two courses in MUTH 250-299 for students who matriculated 202109 and after. Does this course require off campus field trips? No
