1 MUSIC 175 Instrumentation and Orchestration Fall 2014 WTh 1:00-1:50 plus small group Monday or Tuesday with Jared Slosberg 212 Instructor: David Rakowski Extension /Slosberg 217 Office hours: TBA Teaching Assistant: Jared Redmond Textbook: The Study of Orchestration, Third Edition. Samuel Adler ISBN The textbook is required. You may also buy the supplemental CD set for the text, which cost a lot of money but is worth it. The textbook is something you ll need your entire life, unless you re silly. Prerequisite: Music 101a and Music 101b or equivalent experience. Experience in partwriting is essential, as is the ability to read treble, bass, alto, and tenor clefs. Class format: Here s letting you know in advance that this class is going to involve a lot of written work. Orchestration is 15.2 percent science and 84.8 percent art, and obviously the science can be taught, but the art comes through experience. Normally, there will be lectures given on Wednesdays and Thursdays and assignments given for you to do on the weekend; the assignments may occasionally differ from what is given on the syllabus. On Mondays or Tuesdays, depending on when small groups are scheduled, the assignments are due, and some of them, randomly chosen, will be criticized at the piano in class. On those Mondays or Tuesdays there will be small group meetings with Jared Redmond for more criticism and guidance at times to be worked out by you and him. Also on Wednesdays are surprise pop quizzes and some lectures. The Monday/Tuesday meetings are required. Listening You are given pieces of music to listen to each week. Most will be found in the latte space for the course, if not found there, search on Naxos for them. Most can be heard on the Naxos online database, and are also referenced in the latte course materials. You are required to keep a journal, as detailed below, about the pieces you are assigned to listen to. Some of the listening is not available online, so you will actually have to go to the library to do it. Scores of public domain music not available in latte may be downloaded from the imslp library. Grading: The written assignments given in the syllabus constitute 85% of the grade. The three surprise pop quizzes count for the other 15% of the grade. You will know in advance when a surprise pop quiz is to be given. Attendance policy: Three unexcused absences allowed. The small group meetings with Jared count toward your attendance. 4 percentage points knocked off your final grade for each unexcused absence greater than 3. Homework policy: all homework is given on Thursday and is due the following Monday or Tuesday at small group meetings. You may be late once. Journal: you are required to keep a journal of notes about the required listening. It will be part of your final portfolio, and is also to be passed in in stages. These notes should
2 include any musings you have about particular use of instruments, combinations of instruments, and anything you have to say about the music itself. Every three or four weeks you must hand in a listening journal of the pieces assigned for those three weeks. Final portfolio: The final portfolio is due at noon on Monday, December 15. It consists of your final orchestral arrangement or composition, your complete journal, and your three best assignments. Students With Disabilities If you are a student with a documented disability on record at Brandeis University and wish to have a reasonable accommodation made for you in this class, please see the instructor immediately. From the Office of Academic Affairs Academic integrity is central to the mission of educational excellence at Brandeis University. Each student is expected to turn in work completed independently, except when assignments specifically authorize collaborative effort. It is not acceptable to use the words or ideas of another person--be it a world-class philosopher or your lab partner--without proper acknowledgement of that source. This means that you must use footnotes and quotation marks to indicate the source of any phrases, sentences, paragraphs or ideas found in published volumes, on the internet, or created by another student. Violations of University policies on academic integrity, described in Section 3 of Rights and Responsibilities, may result in failure in the course or on the assignment, and could end in suspension from the University. If you are in doubt about the instructions for any assignment in this course, you must ask for clarification. AUGUST 28 This space intentionally left blank. First class.
