Students will read primary and secondary sources to broaden their understanding of musical developments. Composers discussed include Machaut, Josquin, Palestrina, Monteverdi, Corelli, Vivaldi, Handel and Bach. The course includes stylistic understanding of the different periods and composers through selected listening examples from the periods. Fall. Greenwood. Fall semester. Greenwood.
