galant style composition using koch's versuch and voice-leading schemata

adem merter birson merter birson — fri, 05 may 2023 11:50:32 pdt

robert gjerdingen’s 2007 study, music in the galant style, offers today’s music theory teachers the possibility of using idiomatic voice-leading progressions from the eighteenth-century in the modern theory classroom. these progressions, currently identified as schemata, would have been taught to musicians using a methodology known as partimento, a cross between a thorough-bass exercise and a compositional sketch. one aspect that gjerdingen does not cover, however, is how musicians from the period were taught form. eighteenth-century theorists, like heinrich christoph koch, are explicit in detailing the relationship of smaller forms like dances and songs to larger forms like sonatas, arias, and concertos; the latter are said to grow out of the former by means of expanding musical periods. in volume two of koch’s versuch einer anleitung zur composition (1793), the theorist features a series beginner’s exercises in the smaller forms intended to lead to larger compositions. inspired by both gjerdingen’s study and koch’s treatise, this article argues for a historical approach to music theory pedagogy, chronicling the classroom experience of a second-semester theory course that featured a series of galant-style composition assignments. starting with a four-measure phrase, students went on to compose eight-measure periods, sixteen-measure dances, forty-measure theme and variations, and sixty-measure rondos. students used galant schemata borrowed from gjerdingen to create original melodies that were stylistically idiomatic. the result was a method to teaching music theory whereby students acquired the ability to compose original works in an eighteenth-century style.

surviving set theory: a pedagogical game and cooperative learning approach to undergraduate post-tonal music theory

angela ripley — fri, 05 may 2023 11:35:25 pdt

undergraduate music students often experience difficulties when they first encounter pitch-class set theory, an analytical methodology very different from those they have studied previously. with the goal of fostering good will and openness toward studying post-tonal music, i adapt the reality competition show survivor to frame a four-week unit on set theory and provide empirical results of set theory survivor via student questionnaires and comments. the results of the study confirm that by combining the peer support of cooperative learning with the motivational force of constructive intergroup competition and the fun of a pedagogical game, set theory survivor presents an effective approach to a difficult subject and provides a creative tool to enhance the pedagogy of pitch-class set theory.

so you want to write a chord progression? teaching core music theory using the phrase model handout

daniel stevens — fri, 05 may 2023 11:35:25 pdt

this article explains and provides suggestions for implementing the phrase model handout, a pedagogical resource found at music theory pedagogy online. the phrase model handout is a single-page, tabloid-size document that presents an array of harmonic expansions, predominant harmonies, and cadential figurations all within the framework of the phrase. the phrase model handout draws significantly on the pedagogical texts of laitz, caplin, and aldwell and schachter, and is intended as a supplement to textbooks that do not emphasize harmonic idioms or the linear structures of harmonic progressions. this article contains pedagogical applications of the phrase model handout at all levels and to many topics of the harmony and aural skills sequences, including tonic and non-tonic expansions, harmonic function, harmonic syntax, voice leading, secondary chord usage, chromatic predominants, cadential bass lines, and cadence types.

practices, needs, and 21st-century concerns in the undergraduate music theory curriculum as identified by the oklahoma music theory roundtable: a descriptive study

sheila cathey — fri, 05 may 2023 11:25:25 pdt

the primary purpose of this study was to address curricular concerns defined during the open discussion forum of the annual oklahoma music theory roundtable (omtr), held at the university of tulsa in 2011. during the 2012-2013 academic year, the author of this study formulated a panel of experts and created a survey. instructors’ profiles, practices, curricular needs, and 21st-century concerns were examined using a sample of anonymous postsecondary oklahoma music theory instructors (n = 27; 35.06%) who are affiliated with the omtr. data collection and analysis were conducted, and results were delivered at the 2013 annual omtr conference held at oral roberts university.

utilizing the tone row in jazz pedagogy- a technique to create tonal harmony in an atonal environment

paul musso — fri, 05 may 2023 09:35:16 pdt

this paper examines a jazz pedagogical method, based on a bill evans composition, that utilizes schoenberg's serial tone row in a harmonically tonal setting. by exploring the extensive harmonic possibilities produced by one tone row, this method guides students through the creation of harmonic options to produce tonal accompaniment against atonal melodic content. the result of this exercise establishes numerous harmonic possibilities for the tone row and may also serves as a rigorous theoretical exercise in chord construction. the paper further discusses the unique capacity of the exercise to help students connect intuitive organic music choices with empirical pedagogical elements.
