MUS 516 Nusach of Yamim Noraim

The primary foci of this course are congregational melodies for Yamim Noraim, Ta'amei Ha Mikra, and selected solos for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Class sessions cover music through liturgy, compositional structure, text painting, elementary modal analysis, and style. Students need enough musical background to sing through the assigned pieces as part of the group.
