MSC 1003 - Music in Civilization

Welcome to the final two units of the semester! In this class we'll explore the wilder, "avant-garde" side of 20th-century Classical-type music.

Assignment #58: Arnold Schoenberg's Atonal Universe

First, read our discussion of Arnold Schoenberg's radical approach to music.

Then, Assignment #58 asks you four questions.

Assignment #59: Cage, Ligeti, and Glass

First, read about three more trends in recent Classical music.

Then, Assignment #59 asks you five questions.

This one is also due on the mythical "Class 29", Monday May 24.
