Graduate Advisory Examinations
Music History
Incoming graduate students who do not complete the advisory examination
upon entering the School of Music will forfeit the option to test out
of 25:301 Advanced History and Literature of Music I and 25:302 Advanced
History and Literature of Music II. These courses (or exemption from
them) are prerequisites for all graduate electives in music history.
Students will not be allowed to register for music history electives
unless both courses are successfully completed or waived by examination.
The exam is multiple choice and covers all periods of music history
(Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century),
music bibliography, musical style, composers, and forms.
No preparation is officially required of the student who has satisfactorily
completed an undergraduate course in music history. However, students
who feel the need to review will benefit from the study of the general
music history survey such as Grout and Palisca, A History of Western
Music (5th ed.), or Stolba, The Development of Western Music.
Every graduate student is required to take Advanced History and Literature
of Music I and II, unless he or she is excused from one or both semesters
on the basis of a minimum 70% score on the relevant section of the history
advisory exam. Students with passing scores on the Graduate Advisory
Examination in music history are exempted from these courses and prerequisites
and should substitute two 3 s.h. music history electives for 025:301
and 025:302. The M.A. requires 6 s.h. in music history. D.M.A. or Ph.D.
students take an additional music history elective (3 s.h.).
