  • Spring 2021 Course Descriptions
    PhD/DMA Programs in Music – Spring 2021 Course Descriptions MUS 81502: Performance Practice: Baroque – Professor Gwendolyn Toth This course, intended for performance majors at the doctoral level, is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of what performance practice means and why we study it. Specific course content includes knowledge of the conventions of musical performance during the period 1550-1800, with emphasis on the changes from Renaissance to early baroque, early baroque to high baroque, and high baroque to early classical. Students will also gain acquaintance with the development of musical instruments, music printing, and musician status, as well as changing audiences, during the time frame. First-hand sources of principal pedagogical publications of the period will be used to the extent possible. Students should gain an understanding of performance practice principles (rhetoric, phrasing, ornamentation, improvisation, instrumentation) in different periods from 1550-1800; but equally, will examine applications of performance practice in today’s modern concert world internationally through critical listening. Students should attain sufficient knowledge to run an early music ensemble/collegium or teach a beginning course on historical performance. The format of the course will include introductory lectures, extensive readings, occasional assigned practical written exercises, in-class listening and discussion, area-specific (keyboard, winds, strings, voice) papers comparing recorded modern performances, and a comprehensive final exam. MUS 71500: D.M.A. Topics (Spring) – Professor Anne Stone The second semester DMA Topics course will focus on the various types of scholarly writing encountered by performers in doctoral work and beyond. In addition to reading and analysis/discussion of writing on music from multiple genres by both scholars and performers, weekly writing assignments will include in- class writing, evaluation of classmates’ work, and ongoing work on longer assignments.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

The Symphony has never apologized for its commitment to new music, but American orchestras have to deal with economic realities.
