HMU 304 Music Theory IV

Music Theory IV continues the presentation of the material and procedures of tonal music with a continued study of dissonance and chromaticism including 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th chords, Neapolitan II, Augmented Sixth chords, and chromatic voice leading techniques. Students undertake writing assignments in species counterpoint in three voices. Aural skills are developed with more complex "fixed-do" solfege primarily in mixed modes with chromatic alterations. Does not fulfill general humanities requirements; may be taken as a free elective.
