Minimal score-reading ability needed for papers, oral presentations, and possible performance projects. From the course home page: Course Description This class covers the history of Western music from antiquity until approximately 1680, about 2000 years worth of music. Rather than cover each topic at the same level of depth, we will focus on four topics in particular and glue them together with a broad overview of other topics. The four topics chosen for this term are (1) chant structure, performance, and development; (2) 14th century music of Italy and France; (3) Elizabethan London; and (4) Venice in the Baroque era. The class will also introduce many of the tools we use in studying music history such as manuscript study, original notation work (the musical equivalent of foreign language study), and historical performance practice. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-220Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Cuthbert, Michael 2007-10-16T12:54:42-04:00 21M.220 en-US Music and Theater Arts Music Mass Catholic French Italian Hildegard motet Trecento polyphony monody liturgy mode baroque music religious music Gregorian chant chant church music medieval MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
