Course Description
This course examines the historical development of music theory in the lives of the great musicians from ancient times to the present. That encompasses six main musical periods: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern. Over fifty influential composers are introduced: their styles, musical forms (such as symphony & concerto) and the cultures in which they worked.
Theory is summarized in an online subcourse, including instruction in keys, chord structure, harmony, and notation. The goal is to equip the student to pick any song in the hymnal and sing it without instrumental accompaniment. Required text is The Gift of Music by Smith & Carlson. .
