COURSE DESCRIPTION
Music 261 focuses on Western European music from the late Renaissance
through the Classic era. The course is generally chronological, but organized
around topic areas related to various aspects of music-making and the
cultural contexts in which it took place. Topics concentrate on the contributions
of composer, patron, or performer or the intersection of all three. Questions
regarding social class and gender are considered as they affect music
and its production.
