In this course we will survey Western art music from the emergence around 1680 of a more stable tonal
vocabulary and a broad array of quite durable musical forms (in what became known as the “CommonPractice Period”), through the mid-Romantic period, when both this musical language and its associated
genres and forms were changing in important ways. Pre-requisites for MuHL 232 are MuCO 132a-b and
133a-b, or their equivalents at another institution. MuHL 331, given during the next fall semester, will
continue this history up to the present. Our approach will be both historical and analytical; musical works
will be considered as parts of larger cultural, intellectual and political contexts, on the one hand, and as
embodiments of musical craft on the other.
Required texts (available at the University Bookstore, third floor; texts with call number are in the reference
section of the Music Library); you should already have most of these from MuHL 231:
 Piero Weiss and Richard Taruskin, eds., Music in the Western World: A History in Documents, 2nd
edn. (Boston: Cengage Learning, 2008)
ML160.M865 2008 ref.
 Craig Wright and Bryan Simms, Music in Western Civilization, Media Update, 1st Edition (Boston:
Cengage Learning, 2010)
 either: Timothy Roden, Craig Wright and Bryan Simms, Anthology for Music in Western Civilization,
Media Update, vol. 1: Antiquity through the Baroque; and: vol. 2: The Enlightenment to the Present
(Boston: Cengage Learning, 2010)
MT6.A575 2006 v.1-2 ref.
 or: Timothy Roden, Craig Wright and Bryan Simms, Anthology for Music in Western Civilization, vol.
B: The Baroque and Classical Eras; and: vol. C: Romanticism to the Present (Belmont, CA: Thomson/Schirmer, 2006)
 either: CD sets for Craig Wright and Bryan Simms, Music in Western Civilization, vol. 1: Antiquity
through the Baroque; and: vol. 2: The Enlightenment to the Present (Belmont, CA: Thomson/ Schirmer,
2006)
 or: CD sets for Craig Wright and Bryan Simms, Music in Western Civilization, vol. B: The Baroque and
Classical Eras; and: vol. C: Romanticism to the Present (Belmont, CA: Thomson/Schirmer, 2006)
 Supplementary Score Anthology of pieces not included in the Roden/Wright/Simms Anthology – on
Blackboard.

Our basic text will be Wright/Simms, which will be useful both for general background and for analysis of
specific works. Readings are assigned for each lecture, but you may also find it helpful to browse in other
chapters or sections, and in the glossary. NB: The textbook is not a substitute for lectures, on which exams
will primarily be based.
Weiss and Taruskin's anthology of primary writings on music aims to give a more direct feeling for
the history of music by presenting the documents themselves, rather than a filtered interpretation of them.
You should try to keep up to date with readings in both this book and the main textbook.
The choice of pieces has been dictated in large part by the selection offered in the Roden/Wright/
Simms Anthology. These are pieces that history has “canonized” as first-rate examples of their forms and
styles. The main advantages to using an anthology are: 1) ease of reference while listening in class, or away
from the library, 2) freedom to mark the scores – which you may not do with library scores! – and 3) low cost,
compared to what you'd pay for all these scores separately. Please bring your anthology to every class in
which we will cover works included there (check the schedule of lectures below).
Scores of works not included in the published anthology will be in a Supplementary Score Anthology, available on Blackboard. Please look ahead in the schedule of lectures in the syllabus and either
print out the score(s) you’ll need for a given lecture, or bring your computer to that lecture so you can
read the score(s) online.
Scores and other library materials meant for use in connection with writing projects will be on reserve in the Music Library, or on Ares electronic reserves, or on Blackboard. Most reserve and reference
scores may be used in the Music Library only.
This class will use Blackboard for announcements, posting of assignments and handouts, online
discussions (some of them mandatory and/or for grade credit), and submission of papers.

Listening: Assigned class listenings are largely available in the CD set that accompanies the Wright/Simms
textbook. A few supplemental assigned listenings are available on a class website
(http://www.usc.edu/schools/music/music_history-brown/muhl280a/listening.html; MuHL 280a was the
number for a previous version of this course), accessible with a user i.d. and password (to be given out in
class). As a necessary precaution (in terms of copyright), access to the class website is restricted to USC IP
addresses; if using the site from an outside system (e.g., cable or DSL), or even USC’s WiFi, you will have to
install USC’s VPN (virtual private network) software; see http://www.usc.edu/its/vpn/
For pieces on the website, you can listen from any computer with an Internet connection and the
(free) RealPlayer program on it. (Note: The Music Library's computers are not equipped with RealPlayer.)
A separate sheet of instructions for the website will be distributed in class. (Note: On some computers, you
may need to right-click and download the file (e.g., to your desktop) in order for it to play.)
You can listen to many of the assigned pieces on one of the Music Library’s streaming audio and
video services, such as Classical Music Library, Naxos Music Library, or Opera in Video. Follow the same
instructions as for the Classical Scores Library (above), but click the “Find Sound Recordings” or “Find Videos” tab, and then either “Music Online” (under “Streaming Audio Services” or “Video Databases”). For
Classical Music Library, use the “Go to” window to narrow your search. Classical Music Library has playlists that duplicate the contents of the Simms/Wright CD anthology (though with different performances);
click the “Playlists” tab and search for “Companion to Wright”; this will bring up the playlists.
Wherever and however you listen, you should plan a regular schedule of at least two listening sessions per week, in order to keep up with lectures. Do not leave all your listening to just before exams! You
may also check out the Music Library's regular CDs (see Homer catalogue), for use in the library, or purchase commercial recordings of some of the pieces from the listening list, on your own. Performances of
many of our pieces can also be found on http://www.youtube.com/, iTunes, and/or Spotify.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory, and will be checked most days. You are responsible for all material,
whether you were there when it was presented or not. If for some legitimate reason you must miss class, arrive late, or leave early, please inform me in advance (in person, by phone or by e-mail. Unexcused absences
or tardiness will cause your grade in the class to be lowered. Legitimate excuses include illness, personal
emergencies, or occasional conflicts with master classes or rehearsals of large ensembles, but NOT lessons or
outside gigs.
General expectations: Regardless of educational, linguistic, or national background, all students in this
course are expected to have a good command of spoken and written English. You should come to class
prepared to take full and accurate notes on lectures, and to participate in discussions. If you are having
trouble following the lectures, try 1) sitting closer to the front of the room, 2) recording lectures, and 3)
getting help outside of class. But if you are still having trouble, or spending too much time on coursework,
after trying these remedies, you should consider dropping the class and waiting to take it until you are
better prepared. Please feel free to talk to me or the teaching assistant about any problems you are having.
Written work, apart from tests, will normally be submitted electronically. On a title page include
your name (student identification number is not necessary), the course number, the date the work was submitted, and the title of the assignment ; your main text should be double spaced. All work must be entirely
your own, unless you are specifically instructed to collaborate. See the guidelines on academic integrity (the
URL is given below) if you are uncertain as to what constitutes plagiarism, or proper and improper use of
sources.
Since this class covers a large amount of material, it is to your advantage to make use of my office
hours – not only if you are having problems with the material, but also simply in order to find out on a topic
4
more than can be covered in class. The pieces and information covered in class are only a starting point;
don't limit yourself to just that!
The teaching assistant will also be holding office hours (though not always in an actual office).
Times and places will be announced in class.
You may use computers for note-taking during lecture, and for accessing Internet resources as directed by me, but please refrain from e-mail, telephoning (including texting), Facebook, and other electronic activities that are unrelated to class. Non-class-related electronic activity during lecture may result in
confiscation of phones, expulsion for the rest of the lecture, and/or a grade penalty.
All students enrolled in MuHL 232 MUST have completed, with a passing grade, MuCO 132a-b and
MuCO 133a-b, or their equivalents at another institution – as measured by the MuCO Equivalency Exam.
Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations
can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me as early in the semester as possible.
DSP is located in STU 301 and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; phone: 213/7400776.
