Survey of Music History and Literature (MUS 204)
is designed as an introduction to the standard concert repertory through intensive guided listening and elementary score-reading.  Representative selections by major composers of each era are chosen to illustrate the characteristic styles, techniques, forms and performance practices of vocal and instrumental music.  The course principally covers the music of Western Civilization  from the Renaissance to the present.  This course is offered every other year in the spring semester and will offered next in Spring 2006.
