Welcome to Second Semester!

Building on foundational theory, this course explores sophisticated harmonic concepts through the lens of counterpoint and voice leading. You'll master seventh chord inversions, figured bass notation, and Bach-style part-writing while developing a deep understanding of chord progressions and cadences. The course illuminates advanced concepts like chord function, sequences, and secondary dominants through practical analysis of masterworks including Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 and Pachelbel's Canon. From tonicization to modulation, you'll develop the analytical and compositional tools used by professional musicians, with extensive practice in harmonization and part-writing techniques.
