MUSIC 223T: Computer Music Improvisation and Algorithmic Performance
This seminar will investigate how to approach configuring a set of composition tools for real time composition. Composition programming, ensemble rehearsal, and performance. Determining algorithmic composition beginning by imagining a process or a structure, applying a mapping process to transform that structure (which resides in the conceptual domain), into sound (which may reveal the original conception). Investigation of gestural mapping that occurs when a sonic result is achieved by an act of interpretation, whether it be reading a score and/or improvising.

MUSIC 242K: Studies in Music of the Baroque: Handel the Cosmopolitan (MUSIC 142K)
Music history seminar on the operatic, sacred, and instrumental works of G.F. Handel as examples of the diversity, cosmopolitanism, expression, formal and technical features, and social uses of music in the first half of eighteenth century. Traces Handel¿s career from his native Germany to an elite Roman circle of musical connoisseurs, and to the Italian opera company he founded in London and his transformation of Italian opera into a new genre of English oratorio. By analyzing Handel¿s works in context, we examine the aesthetic, harmonic, and dramatic principles of the major European Baroque art-music genres. Prerequisites:
