MUT 201Fundamentals of Music II: Advanced Harmony

This course is a continuation of the study begun in Fundamentals I of the basic materials of tonal music, using the four-part “chorale style” of J. S. Bach as the basis of study. Topics will include cadences, non-harmonic tones, triads in second inversion, the structure and treatment of seventh chords, the harmonization of melodies, secondary function chords, modulation and chromaticism. Written work will consist of one or two short assignments per week.
