MUSC-211A Music Theory IV

The final course in the four-semester Music Theory sequence, Music Theory IV continues the study of harmonic concepts pursued in MUSC-210A, Music Theory III, and introduces students to Post-Romantic and Twentieth Century melody and harmonic concepts. The student will develop further knowledge and understanding of foreign modulations, extended chords, chromaticism, non-diatonic music, and form through the study of the music of the late nineteenth and twentieth century. A review of sixteenth and eighteenth century counterpoint will be included. The practice of sight singing, rhythm reading, and melodic dictation will be continued through MUSC-211P.
