This course presents the principles of tonality and harmonic function--the tendency of certain types of music to progress toward a central tone or key. Topics will include a stylistic survey of music history, concepts in the sociological and psychological foundations in music, a review of the fundamentals of music, melodic construction, two- part counterpoint, harmonic progression, phrase structure and harmonization. Further application of these topics will be addressed in the corresponding musicianship course. Thus, concurrent enrollment in or previous completion (with a minimum grade of 'C') of Musicianship I (MUSIC 217-1) is required.
