MUS 707B. Score and Literature Survey for Orchestral Conductors I

Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID: 012273 Grading Basis GRD

This course has been designed to give an overview of orchestral literature both from a historical perspective (musical period, genre, composers, performance practice, style) and more practical review of pieces suggested for performance at the senior high school, college, and adult levels. While standard composers and works will be studied, the instructors may include lesser-known works and contemporary literature of interest. The literature will be studied by reading through scores and listening to recordings of significant works. The instructor and guest lecturers will present ideas about the pieces, successful programming and appropriate selection of literature for specific levels.
