THERE IS NO REQUIRED TEXTBOOK FOR THIS COURSE.

 

·        I will be posting lecture material on the WebCT website.

·        The lecture outline is cross-referenced to the books listed below.  These books will be on 3-day reserve in the Music Library.  None of these books matches the level and material of the course closely enough to choose as a text, but they all have relevant sections and much overlap.
