This course combines the study of two highly innovative periods of music history, the early Baroque (c 1600) and the early twentieth century. Students study the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque through the shift from the prima prattica to the seconda prattica, developments in instrumental music and the rise of opera. In the twentieth century we look to the emergence of musical modernism through the music of Debussy, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Stravinsky, Bartok and Varèse, focusing in class seminars on set works such as Debussy's Prelude de l'après-midi d'un faun and Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire.
