About this Unit
This unit explores a range of musical works, styles, genres and composers from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. It shows how music evolved through the centuries, suggesting that stylistic changes are linked to innovative musical thinking on the one hand and conformity to established practices on the other. The unit asks how and why different genres and styles in different periods in western art music history come to the foreground while others recede into the background. Within a socio-historical context, the unit investigates the practices that produce musical innovation and considers how the various historical epochs have shaped our understanding of music. The unit includes some rudimentary music analysis and key terminologies and music vocabularies.
