Description
The course surveys Baroque music and music theory (time period approximately 1580-1750) by first considering the innovations in musical styles from the point of view of genre and national (Italian, French, and German) schools. Topics include the development of opera, oratorio, cantata, the concerto, and an independent keyboard music. Finally, the course demonstrates how Baroque music and aesthetics culminated in the life and works of Johann Sebastian Bach. (May not be substituted for MSC 3043 or 3044.)
