The Department of Musicology offers courses under the following two headings:
- Music History
- Ethnomusicology
|
A. Music History Courses
MHST 101 (or CMUS 100) is a prerequisite to any of the 200-level
survey courses. Students who have a good background in music history
and literature may be exempted from MHST 101 by passing an examination
given only during Orientation in August. College of Arts and Sciences
students with some music background may take MHST 101. For College
students without such a background, CMUS 100 is recommended. (See
“Music”, in the Arts and Sciences section of this catalog.) Transfer
students entering in February must take MHST 101 the following fall
semester.
The 300-level course offerings listed are drawn from a larger number of advanced classes that include: The History of the Oratorio, Baroque Opera, J.S. Bach, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Mahler, Mozart, and Music and Narrative. B. Ethnomusicology Courses
