Survey of Music Literature (MUSL 141)
For students with musical experience and reading skills, MUSL 141 answers all your questions about style, perceptive listening, the musical characteristics of various periods and genres, and the cultural-historical context in which the world's major musical monuments were created. Chamber music, vocal music, keyboard music, opera, concerto, symphony--they're all here. Add to this the many "isms" of the 20th century (experimentalism, minimalism, impressionism, expressionism, primitivism, nationalism, and modernism), and you discover that Survey of Music Literature has enormously enhanced your own music literacy.
