Studies in Music of the Romantic Period

3 credits

No other period has shaped music history more intensely and imaginatively than the 19th century. Contributions of representative composers to music literature of the Romantic Era (ca. 1800-1900) and the various forces that played a role in the creation and performance of musical works will be examined. Emphasis is placed on honing students’ critical thinking, writing, research and presentation skills. ***Prerequisite: MUHI 202 or permission of Department Head*** *Note: Students cannot receive credit for both MU 213 and MUHI 303*
