Amcanion cyffredinol

This module develops students' musicological skills through the study of music composed between 1550 and 1850, complemented by a series of workshops on advanced study skills.

The module surveys selected works in a range of genres from the late Renaissance to the break-up of imperial Europe in the nineteenth century. Changes and developments in musical style will be set in their historical, cultural, social, geographical and aesthetic contexts. In addition, students undertake deeper study of two works from the period, exploring them analytically as musical texts, and probing the circumstances in which they were composed.
