Introduction to Western Music
Introduction to Western Music
In this course we will develop critical listening skills through guided study of selected works created by the men and women of the Western world. The course will examine how music uses basic sound materials—such as rhythm, melody, timbre, texture, and harmony—to create meaning and expression, how those uses have changed over time from the Middle Ages to the present, and how music relates to its social and historical context and to the other arts. Previous musical training is not required. 3 hrs. lect.
