MUS4210H: Introduction to Music Analysis

A study of the harmonic, thematic, and formal structures of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic music. Harmonic topics include diatonic chords, sequences, applied dominants, modulation, modal mixture, Neapolitan, and augmented sixth chords. The examination of cadences, phrases, and periods leads to an exploration of complete movements in binary, ternary, sonata, and rondo forms, as well as text-music relationships in texted vocal works. Students learn to communicate their analytic insights through annotated musical examples, form charts, written prose, and oral presentations.
