Building on learning from History I and II, students will learn to identify, compare and contrast composers and works, and the different styles and genres from these eras. They will also learn to situate the music and trends within a larger cultural and artistic context. Finally, students will discuss works in their context in an essay, written assignment(s) or oral presentation using the appropriate research resources and presentation or word-processing petency to be achieved: Students who pass this course will have partially fulfilled competency 01DK (To appreciate various characteristics of musical works) of Pre-university Music.Place in the Program:This course is the third of four Classical History courses in the Pre-university Programs.Teaching Method: The pedagogical approach will combine lecture with active learning activities that will include listening and score reading exercises (in groups and with the full class), as well as in-class reading and writing, outside-class writing assignments, and formative preparation for tests and the final exam.Course Contents & Weekly Schedule: This course will explore musical works and concepts related to the forms and styles that prevailed during the Classical and Romantic periods. Course content will thus rely heavily on major Western European works from the 18th and 19th centuries, with particular attention to form and style in opera and instrumental music. However, as we proceed into the 19th century, it will become increasingly important to widen our scope to biography and politics, as is appropriate to the age of subjectivity. We will also refer to major documents that provide an insight into the aesthetics and ideologies of the times.
