MU 266
Theory III
A continuation of MU162. MU266 introduces chromatic harmonies and their role in the Phrase Model including the
Neapolitan chord, augmented sixth chords, chromaticallyaltered chords, and common-tone chords. The course explores
modulation to closely-related, distant, and enharmonic keys. It also introduces chromatic sequences and chromatic contrary
motion as well as binary forms. The course facilitates acquisition of active listening, audiation, harmonization, and
analytical skills.
Prerequisites: MU162.
Exclusions: MU264.
