Overview of class

This course serves as an introduction to the original research pursued by the members of Northwestern's musicology faculty. We will read their published books and articles extensively and converse with them about their work-in-progress. The course is intended primarily for musicology students but is available to all who are interested. Enrolled students may be expected to purchase the materials required for the course, but the total will not exceed $150.
