The course examines the history of music in Europe from Antiquity to the end of the Renaissance (531 BCE to c.1600 CE). In the process of studying the many changes in musical styles that occurred during these centuries several broader topics will be addressed. Among these are the social and historical contexts of musicians and musical performance; the relation between words and music in different historical periods; and historically-informed approaches to musical analysis. The material will be presented through lectures and discussion, listening assignments, singing, and readings.
