Music Analysis
'The course begins with a study of musical forms frequently encountered in Western art music and some analytic techniques appropriate to them. The course concludes with topics of selected interest, including the application of various analytic approaches to a single piece of music.'
Chamber Singers
'Highly select vocal ensemble drawn from Glee Club to perform original works for women's chorus, with emphasis on contemporary music.'
Glee Club
'A relatively advanced women's choir with a varied classical, contemporary, and folk-derived repertoire. Occasional collaborations with men's choruses and orchestra, sometimes involving long-distance travel. Previous ensemble experience (vocal or instrumental) and strong musicianship--including sight singing--are prerequisites.'
History of Western Music II
'The completion of the survey of Western music history begun in Music 281, Music 282 examines the musical culture of Europe from the late eighteenth century through the first decades of the twentieth century, continuing the focus on evolution of style and the changing roles of composers, performers, patrons, and audience.'
Chamber Jazz
'A select instrumental combo open to more advanced jazz musicians with emphasis on complex forms such as Dixieland, bop, and fusion. Students also learn exercises and techniques that will aid them in solo improvisation.'
