Course: The Composer's Toolbox (OSH-CMPSRTLBX)
Class I of The Composer's Toolbox will cover Universals in Music. Two musical parameters that all cultures share are heartbeat and voice. However, features which are unique to a culture's music may or may not make their music understandable.
Class II will focus on five specific tools that composers use to write their music. Each of these tools will be illustrated with multiple musical examples. Since excerpts will be taken from the Baroque through to Contemporary Music, you will see how these tools have been used for centuries.
