Additional Course InfoClass Number: 2449 Course explores music and its cultural uses in Medieval Europe. We will study the main genres and forms of music in secular and sacred contexts, from monasteries, convents, and cathedrals, to courts and cities. We will trace the changing character of music itself, from plainsong to polyphonic and from troubadour tunes to art song of the 14th century, in works by figures like Hildegard, Leonin, Machaut, Landini, and Vitry. We will study transformations in musical notation, theoretical underpinnings of musical time and counterpoint, and the status of music itself in the divine cosmos. We will also pause to put all of this in the context of current scholarship and historical performance practice. Prerequisite(s): Any full-credit course in Music, or instructor consent. Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: HU, A)
