This course is intended to serve as an introduction to Schenkerian Theory & Analysis. Our text will be the first six chapters and appendix of Allen Cadwallader and David Gagné, Analysis of Tonal Music: A Schenkerian Approach, third ed. (Oxford University Press). Students who feel the need to brush up on their tonal theory are advised to consult the textbooks below (I can send you more materials on request).
Harmonic Review: Graduate Review of Tonal Theory, Steven G. Laitz and Christopher Bartlette (Oxford University Press, 2009); Harmonic Practice in Tonal Music, Robert Gauldin (W.W. Norton, 2004); Tonal Harmony, Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne (MacGraw-Hill, 2003).
Assignments: Read all assigned materials, due preparatory analysis, play the assigned work and most importantly listen to the pieces. Participation is of the utmost importance, as we will do a great deal of the work together in class. There will be weekly analytical assignments featuring harmonic and structural analysis, guided by short questions. There will be a midterm exam in class on Nov. 14, a class presentation during one of the final two class periods based on a piece/excerpt you've chosen (with consultation), and a take-home final exam due Dec. 14.
