MUH 333 - Western Music History

3 CR

How much do you really hear when you listen to music - on the radio, on your phone, or at a concert? This course refines listening skills by studying major composers, styles, genres, and historical revolutions in the music of the Western Classical tradition. We will explore musical styles and the principal composers of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th-Century, and Modern eras through a social-historical lens.

Prerequisite(s): Any MUH 1XX or Permission of the Department.
