MUS 4015 - Advanced Theory and Arranging

4 cr

Advanced Theory and Arranging builds upon the musicianship skills and knowledge acquired in the previous three semesters of the sequence. It also departs from common practice theoretical concepts to include a survey of compositional techniques developed in the 20^th Century. The semester concludes with a study of the techniques of musical arrangement. Drawing on their theoretical background, students enlist their own creative knowledge to arrange pieces of music for various types of ensembles. Music sequencing software is employed so students may hear their own arrangements.
