Reading assignment for Beethoven, 9th symphony

Please note that for Tuesday, March 11, we will be studying Beethoven's 9th symphony, which is not discussed in detail in the textbook. I have provided a listening guide in the "Beethoven" PowerPoint presentation, available through WebCT in the same manner as the other presentations. This presentation is available now.

I have reduced some of the listening assignments for the remainder of the course. These changes are noted on the syllabus. Please update your copy if you have printed it out.

Short assignment 5 is now listed on the syllabus, as well as a link to the specifications for the concert report.

Review terms for Baroque vocal music

The review guide for exam 1 has been updated to add a few terms related to Baroque vocal music.

Syllabus update 2/5/08

I have made a slight modification to the syllabus to indicate that we will be using a different fugue example in class than the one the book presents. The book's example (from The Art of the Fugue) is a bit difficult in some respects, and I think my alternate example will be clearer to you.

Exam 1 review

The review for exam 1 is now posted, both under "Course Documents" at right, and also on a link from the syllabus.
