MTH 232 - Advanced Musicianship II (4)

An integration of the aspects of written theory, sight singing, and aural training. This course is a continuation of Advanced Musicianship I and introduces linear chromaticism in 19th-century piano forms as well as late 19th-century harmonic developments, including higher-order tertian sonorities. Examines 20th-century harmony, rhythm, and compositional techniques, and includes early 20th-century tonal music, set theory, serial procedures, and recent musical developments. Training in sight singing and aural training expands to include 20th-century concepts in rhythm, melody, and harmony. Emphasis on developing a facility with bass lines and harmonic progressions, including chords of secondary function, as well as altered pre-dominants. Corrective listening, as well as large-scale analytical listening further heightens aural abilities.
