    Description
    MUSIC-017 is the study of common practice harmony. The focus is on tonal harmony including the realization of figured bass lines, harmonization of melodies and the harmonic and structural analyzation of examples of Baroque, Classical and Romantic musical literature. This course is required for music majors and should be taken concurrently with MUSIC-014. This course incorporates the concepts from Music Theory I. In addition, through guided composition and analysis, the course will include: an introduction to two-part counterpoint; voice leading involving four-part chorale writing; diatonic harmony; and an introduction to secondary/applied chords and modulation.
