2 credits

Section A Tuesdays 9:00-9:55, Fridays 9:00-9:50
Section B Tuesdays 10:00-10:55, Fridays 10:00-10:50
Faculty 
Prerequisite: GRMUS-TJ 601T or by placement. This is the second semester of a year-long theory review course designed for entering graduate students at The Tianjin Juilliard School. Building upon skills developed either in the first semester of the course or demonstrated through performance on the theory placement test, students will continue to stretch and apply their theoretical perspectives in ever-more performative ways. Like the first semester, an integrated format will combine aural, visual, and written activities including analysis, keyboard, writing (figured bass, melody harmonization, and short compositions that incorporate various harmonic idioms), singing, and transposition. The ultimate emphasis is on the creative and performative applications of music theory. After reviewing necessary fundamentals and reacquainting students with this perhaps novel approach to theory, this course will venture into chromatic harmony and larger forms, including applied chords and tonicization, modulation and binary form, modal mixture and chromatic modulation, writing and using the Neapolitan chord and augmented sixth chords, and ternary and sonata form.

GRMUS-TJ 604T – Chamber Music from 1700 to 1800
2 credits
Spring
Fridays 11:00-12:45
Julia Glenn
The 18th century saw countless foundations of and developments in Western chamber music. This course will dive into its rich repertoire and traditions, spanning different regions, genres, forms, styles, and musical eras. We will begin with an overview of figured bass principles and an introduction to improvised ornamentation, both focal points of the semester. An exploration of the Baroque chamber and church sonata will follow, concentrating largely on Italian composers, style, and influence. Chamber music for two strings and basso continuo will then take us across Europe via the works of Corelli, the elder Marais, Loillett, Rameau, and the two Couperins. Lastly, we will study the germination and solidification of the piano trio and string quartet from the 1760s to 1800, each cornerstones of today’s chamber music traditions.

The most direct way to counter the trend of increasing specialization in the roles of composer and performer is to encourage the creative aspirations of young players. This is the rationale for this composition seminar geared towards performance majors. Students will be equipped with practical skills in composition that can serve them in the future in preparing both arrangements and original works. Experience composing will provide students with insight into the creative process. Much of the class time will be spent in an open group lesson format looking over works in progress, ensuring that each student will receive individual attention from the instructor. If needed, the instructor will provide a more structured series of assignments designed to help students hone their compositional technique. The semester will conclude with a concert featuring new works composed during the semester.
