THYU 417T Microtonal Practice
Through graduated singing exercises, students learn to hear the half step divided into six equal parts. Written harmony, melody, and counterpoint exercises explore microtonal sonorities, along with an investigation of rhythmic language that reflects tonal implications of the music. Students perform their own works, using their own instruments and two pianos tuned one quarter-tone apart. Listening assignments: Carillo, Haba, Wyshnegradski, Sims, Johnston, Maneri, and others. Text by Scott Van Duyne and Joseph Maneri.
