MUS 162 SC - Musical Text-Setting, Analysis and Diction
Students will study the ways in which composers have combined text and music in vocal music over the course of the European tradition, starting with Gregorian chant and ending with twentieth-century experiments in text-setting. They will explore the cultural contexts for these compositional strategies and become familiar with the practice of lyric diction in English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Latin and transcription into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Previous musical training is desirable, but not required. This course satisfies the fine arts requirement.
Course Credit: 1.0
