Description
The course begins with a study of the remaining species of counterpoint (3rd-, 4th- & mixed-species). It then moves on to the study of traditional diatonic harmony through four-part writing using figured bass, unfigured bass, melody harmonization, and model composition. The course also includes analysis of excerpts from the music literature of the 18th and 19th centuries.
