The course is a continuation of Music 102 and concentrates on music created
since the end of the 19th. century. The focus is on new theoretical systems
developed during this period and the way they were applied in practice.
Aesthetic trends related to these new theories and practices will also be
discussed.
Recognizing that the students taking this class might have diferrent backgrounds
and interests, a number of sessions dealing with the scientific foundations of
these theories will be presented. The course will also try to highlight
mutual influences between main stream concert music and the music of other
cultures and folklore traditions.
The objectives of this course are:
There will be eleven assignments, two listening tests and a comprehensive final test. In addition to these graded tests and assignments, the course work will include two creative projects and six reading assignments. These will not be graded; however, the assignments and the final examination will rely on knowledge acquired through the readings and creative projects.

9 assignments 65%
2 listening tests 10%

Attendance.
Attendance and participation in class are crucial to success in this course.
The assignmentis will be based on information delivered during
lectures; the Lecture notes are only summaries of
the presentations and can not replace your participation in sessions.
Attendance will be taken on Zoom from time to time. This is done out of care and
concern for your well-being, and is not grade-related. In cases of excessive
absence or tardiness, I may follow up with an email and/or submit an irregular
attendance report (this is not a punitive measure).
You are asked to make a good faith effort to complete the assigned materials
by the due date.
Please read carefully:
According to Article 1, Part IV, section 402 of the University of Illinois
Student Code, plagiarism is defined as representing the
words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic endeavor. This includes
copying another student's paper or working with another person when both submit
similar papers without authorization to satisfy an individual assignment.
This constitutes an infraction of academic integrity that may result in a
variety of penalties as well as a permanent record of the infraction being
placed in your student file.
