    351A Final Study Guide, Spring, 2017

    The Final will cover the material in Chapters 13 through 16 of the Burkholder/Grout,
    History of Western Music. Youre also responsible for all musical selections on the syllabus
    beginning with Monteverdis Cruda Amarilli, and ending (pending further notice) with De
    Araujos, Los coflades de la estleya.

    Much of the test will consist of short or slightly longer questions that ask for term definitions,
    people identifications, describing genres, etc. There will be a longer essay question that deals
    with text expression in the secular 16th century vs. the 17th century.

    The listening portion, consisting of two-point questions, will involve my playing a brief selection
    from several pieces, having you identify the piece, the composer and genre, and then asking you
    a stylistic question or two. You should know something about the piece, as well as its
    composer, title and type. When I discussed it in class, what did I point out about the piece?
    Was it typical of something? Did it do something unusual? How did the music relate to the
    text? There will also be a score identification selection from the pieces on the syllabus, and you
    will need to answer the same kinds of questions as for the listening.

    The most important instruments of the early Baroque (violin and harpsichord!)
    The two governing aspects of the Baroque (contrast and ornamentation/improvisation)
    The three categories of Baroque music (church, chamber and theater)

    Be prepared to define or identify the following people, places, and ideas. Youre of course
    responsible as well for the composers who wrote selections on our listening.

    Courts and patronage of musicians Chorales


    Decline of the Church Salamone Rossi
    The Florentine Camerata Improvisatory pieces
    Birth of virtuosity Canzonas Sonatas
    Castrati Ricercars Fugues
    prima vs. seconda prattica Types of variations pieces
    Basso continuo Dance related pieces
    Birth of tonality Passcaglias and Chaconnes
    Vincenzo Galilei Ground basses
    Development of Monody Maurizio Cazzati

    intermedii Ballets de cour
    The first operas Tragdie lyrique
    The opening of the first public opera house Philippe Quinault
