This advanced theory course investigates the expressive power of chromaticism and formal design in music form from around the world. Students will analyze complete works and excerpts, focusing on melodic and harmonic structures in highly chromatic tonal contexts. Through the study of largescale musical forms as well as genres like jazz, blues, and popular music, students will develop a broad understanding of musical architecture across cultures and eras. Composition exercises will challenge learners to apply advanced harmonic vocabulary in original musical excerpts, fostering creative fluency and analytical depth. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to evaluate and connect theoretical concepts to music encountered in diverse listening environments, from concert halls to streaming platforms.
