Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1886 This course traces the evolution of the orchestra and samples some of its most compelling literature, from the symphonic canvases of Beethoven, Berlioz, and Still to contemporary pieces incorporating non-Western instruments, electronics and even cell phones. Along the way we will learn to read the orchestral score, and study the capabilities of various orchestral instruments and how they are used together. Short weekly exercises in scoring during the first half of the class, visits from guest musicians, and attendance at concerts of the Philadelphia Orchestra and/or Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia will both supplement and enhance our class discussions. ; Prerequisite(s): MUSC 203 or permission of instructor Div: III; Humanities (Hav: HU) |
