MUS-507 Survey of Western Music

This course will present a survey of Western music from ancient Greece to the 20th century, including how the elements of music are designed by God to provide opportunity for theosis and koinonia, and how the elements of music were used by composers and performers in early Christianity, and the medieval, Renaissance/Reformation, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, nationalist, and modern eras. The course will provide students with the analytic skill to recognize the use of musical elements and their effects, and a realization in depth of the various philosophical and social influences that affected Western music in each of the historical eras.
