The program of study includes composition/theory, musicology, ethnomusicology, and conducting. Composition/theory emphasizes theory, analysis, and composition (and may include work in the Computer and Electronic Music Studio). Musicology emphasizes stylistic study in all historical periods, the acquisition of bibliographic skills, and presentation of papers dealing with studies in music history. Ethnomusicology offers rigorous training in the intellectual history of the field, theory, fieldwork, ethnography, and transcription, with faculty expertise in music of the Americas (African American, Latin, and Native American musics). Conducting emphasizes advanced techniques and musical issues, such as performance practice. All students are encouraged to take part in performance groups sponsored by the department.
This is a Departmentally-based Graduate Program.
