This course serves as a foundation for the study of Music in a college program. With an emphasis on Music listening, the course will provide familiarity with basic and general concepts of Music and the technical vocabulary of Music that describes them. The student will then be given a means of discussing (in oral and written descriptions) the Musical content of pieces. Acquired knowledge of concepts and familiarity with appropriate terminology will make possible the study of Musical style as it is manifested in various traditions, regions, and historical periods (Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and the Modern Period) as well as the techniques, forms, and composers associated with these eras. 08/21/2019-12/11/2019 Lecture Wednesday 01:00PM - 01:50PM, Example Hall Paul Jones, Room 214
