Course/Module description:
“Music Analysis in Cultural-Historical Contexts” studies musics from the 18th to the late 20th centuries using both theoretical analytical tools and the wider canvas of cultural-history connected to the different habitats of the works under discussion, or the processes in which these works take part. The class is designed to train students to navigate between the micro perspective of form and harmony and between aspects of music theory and practice, national discourses, music history and historiography, and the modernist discourse. Compositions under discussion include non-Western Jewish psalmody, fugues from the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, sonata forms from the last three centuries, post tonal music, and the relationship between liturgical or folk music and art music. Assignments include: two take-home exams, research project, and short writing and analysis exercises.
