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.
