(3 hour(s)) Prerequisites: MUSI 198 or placement based on Musicianship placement exam. This course is the second of a four-part sequence devoted to the development of foundational musicianship skills. The goal of the Musicianship course sequence is for each student to be able to think critically and in detail about Western musical structures, and to communicate clearly and persuasively about them. This goal necessitates fluency or competence in musical notation, analysis, performance, and writing about music. Musicianship II focuses on increasing fluency and complexity in the reading and writing of Western musical notation in three clefs and voice-leading. New topics introduced are the recognition and analysis of harmonic and small-scale formal structures, tonicization, and modulation. Musicianship II also continues the exploration of the relationship of music to the Christian faith.
