Music 202 (Section 003 - Evening)
Winter 2012
Note: This syllabus is subject to change throughout the semester. Please check Blackboard regularly. Any changes will be announced in class and on the Blackboard Announcement page for this course.
Music 202 surveys music, the visual arts, and literature from the middle baroque to the present day, giving emphasis whenever possible to the subject of music. As comprehension of musical scores constitutes an important part of the lectures and the exams, the ability to read music will help you excel in this course. Students who cannot read music will find it more difficult to do well.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of taking this course, students should be able to: 1. Demonstrate foundational knowledge and skills in the methods of investigating, expressing, and evaluating concepts in the arts, with a focus on music, from ca. 1720 to the present day. 2. Communicate effectively through writing about music, culture and the arts from ca. 1720 to the present day. 3. Identify and describe the major cultural ideas and styles from the Western cultural tradition from ca. 1720 to the present day. 4. Demonstrate the skills and abilities needed for a life-long critical and evaluative pursuit of art, literature, music, and philosophy.
Required Texts: • Cunningham and Reich, Culture and Values: A Survey of the Western Humanities, Custom Music 201/202 edition • The Norton Scores, Volume I and II, 11th ed., edited by Kristine Forney • CD recordings to The Norton Scores, (8-CD set)
Grading:
Grades will be based on a series of short quizzes, four exams, and a short research assignment. The quizzes combined will be worth 20% of your grade (each of the nine quizzes has equal value), the research assignment will be worth 10% of your grade, the two in-class ID exams will be worth 30% of your grade
