Course description

A sequel to “Harmony II”. The course is meant for students of composition and conducting in their 3rd year. In this course, students will acquire in-depth knowledge of elaborate tonal harmony characteristic of the “Romantic” and “Post-romantic” periods, with a special consideration of selected personal and national styles, as well as significant functional and “post-functional” harmonic strategies. Alongside harmony exercises in various styles, students will analyze works pertaining to the periods in question. Special emphasize will be given to phenomena such as enharmonicism, chromatic mediants, wandering chords, chromatic auxiliary notes, chromatic saturation, harmonic ambiguity, and neo-modal harmony, with an eye to the role of such harmonic procedures in the development of musical form throughout the period under examination (from miniatures to monumental concepts).
