MAJOR  

A music major not only gains a knowledge and awareness of music as a worldwide cultural phenomenon, but develops critical acumen through a manifold approach to sound in its many cultural settings. Historical, ethnographic and critical studies are complemented and deepened by music-writing and auditory skills (developed largely in the context of Western music), and by ensemble performance (available at present in Indonesian as well as traditional Western forms) and by individual instrumental or vocal study.

Students who have graduated from UCR with a major in music have with regularity gained admission to graduate schools at the major universities and conservatories throughout the country. Many former graduates have themselves become faculty members at an impressive list of colleges and universities, while others have earned teaching credentials at the primary and secondary level or have qualified for teaching at community colleges. Still others have entered related fields in the business of music, ranging from music librarianship to publishing and the record industry. The unusual degree of integration of intellectual, emotional, and physical skills provided by the music major has also been found excellent as preparation for a life in a wide number of pursuits outside music.

Throughout each academic year the Department of Music and Cultural Events Presentations sponsor more than fifty formal and informal concerts and recitals by campus ensembles, students, members of the performance faculty, and distinguished visiting artists. The Department also sponsors the UCR Contemporary Music Series. The majority of the Music Department concerts are open to the public.

The Department's facilities include an electronic/computer music studio, practice rooms equipped with Steinway and Yamaha pianos, teaching studios, a carillon console, and computerized ear training equipment. The instrument collection, in addition to complete families of the modern orchestral and band instruments, is particularly rich in historical replicas: three pipe organs, two harpsichords, virginal, clavichord, forte-piano, lutes, theorbo, viols, and a large group of Renaissance and Baroque wind instruments. The Department has recently acquired a gamelan from Java in the five-tone sléndro tuning.

The UCR library has strong music research collections located in three facilities. Approximately 35,000 books about music may be found in the Rivera Library, along with journal backfiles and microforms. The Music Library, located in the Music Wing of Olmsted Hall, provides listening equipment and houses collections of some 12,000 LPs, more than 2,000 compact discs, and 22,000 music scores. A growing collection of audio CD-ROMs is also available. The Library's collections of film, video tapes, and laser discs, along with playback equipment, are housed in the Media Library, which is located in the Humanities and Social Sciences building. Online access to these collections and a variety of electronic resources is provided through MELVYL (the UC online union catalog) and the Library's electronic catalog, INNOPAC.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS  

UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS

General University requirements are Universitywide requirements which all undergraduates must satisfy. See the Undergraduate Studies section for a complete listing.

COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS

Students must fulfill all breadth requirements of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. For a detailed list of requirements and a summary of units, see Degree Requirements under College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog.

Note: Because of additional performance requirements appropriate to the music curriculum, Music majors have been granted an exemption from the 80-unit limit on courses in the major so that 102 music units may be counted toward the B.A.

Students emphasizing the study of music in world culture are advised to take at least two additional courses in the MUS 120 series in addition to MUS 168.

Students emphasizing Western music history are advised to take at least two additional courses in that area.

Students emphasizing music theory and composition are advised to take MUS 135 or MUS 137 and at least two additional courses in music theory or composition.

Students seeking a teaching credential are advised to take MUS 133, MUS 150A-MUS 150B-MUS 150C-MUS 150D, MUS 151, and MUS 152. Consult the School of Education for credential requirements.

Examinations and Auditions. The ability to play simple piano music is required of all majors. Those lacking keyboard proficiency when the major is declared are required to enroll in a special section of MUS 080F to prepare them for the proficiency examination. This examination should be passed by the junior year. Consult the Department for examination requirements.

All students intending to enroll in MUS 030A must take a music theory diagnostic examination, which is given at the beginning of instruction.

MUS 031 is normally taken for a total of three quarters, or until proficiency for admission to MUS 131 is achieved. The proficiency level of MUS 131, or the completion of three quarters of MUS 131, is required for graduation.

All students normally participate in a major ensemble each quarter. Admission to any ensemble course is by consent of instructor. All students intending to participate in an ensemble course must audition during registration.

Fees. All students enrolled in MUS 080 (E-Z) and MUS 180 (E-Z) are required to pay a lesson fee (check with the Department Office for current fee). For students concurrently enrolled in an appropriate ensemble (MUS 160 series), the fee is lower.

Enrollment in one section of MUS 180 (E-Z) per quarter is provided at no additional cost to upper-division Music majors for a maximum of six quarters.

MINOR

The minor in Music has been designed for students who wish to continue their musical studies while pursuing another major. Within the required 24 upper-division units, the minor provides basic skills in music theory and first-level studies in music history and literature while still offering modest flexibility to pursue individual interests.

1. Lower-division preparation: (16 units)

• a) MUS 001 or equivalent
• b) MUS 030A-MUS 030B-MUS 030C

2. Upper-division requirements (24 units)

• a) Eight (8) units from MUS 112A-MUS 112B-MUS 112C
• b) Four (4) units from MUS 121-129
• c) Eight (8) units selected from MUS 121-129, MUS 130A-MUS 130B, MUS 133-139, MUS 191 (E-Z)
• d) Four (4) additional units in ensemble performance

As a freshman or sophomore, the student should complete MUS 030A-MUS 030B-MUS 030C (Harmony). This is a prerequisite for all later studies in the minor. Harmony has a prerequisite of MUS 001 (Introduction to Basic Musical Concepts) or the equivalent.

Two required courses from MUS 112A-MUS 112B-MUS 112C should be completed following MUS 030A-MUS 030B-MUS 030C and not later than the junior year.

See Minors under the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog for additional information on minors.

EDUCATION ABROAD PROGRAM

The Music Department encourages students to participate in the Education Abroad Program (EAP). The EAP is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn more about another country and its culture while taking courses which earn units toward graduation. Because strategy in choosing courses to be taken here and courses to be taken abroad varies depending on personal goals and the country visited, early planning is advised. Consult the department advisor for assistance. For further details, see Education Abroad Program under International Services Center in the Student Services section of this catalog. A list of participating countries is found under Education Abroad Program in the Curricula and Courses section.

GRADUATE PROGRAM  

MASTER'S DEGREE

The Master of Arts degree is offered with a specialization in three areas: composition, ethnomusicology, and musicology. Students are encouraged to view music in the broad context of culture: communication between the intra-disciplinary areas is built into the program, and courses outside the department are either encouraged or required in order to develop an interdisciplinary outlook. The musicology option is also offered with a special emphasis in performance and historical performance practice.

An undergraduate background equivalent to that of a music major at the University of California, Riverside, including piano proficiency and musicianship (ear training) is usually required for admission. Evidence of superior intellectual ability in another field combined with some demonstrable expertise in any musical tradition will also be viewed favorably. Though applicants must provide Graduate Record Examination General Test scores, scores for the music subject area are not required. Prospective students should submit an example of their expository writing. Musical scores or audition tapes should also be submitted where applicable. Entering graduate students in the composition and musicology programs are required to take an advisory examination. Admission to full graduate status is contingent upon the removal of any deficiencies in undergraduate preparation as shown by this advisory examination.

All tracks in the M.A. are designed with Plan I (Thesis) in mind. The nature of the thesis will be determined by the area of study, as outlined below. In exceptional circumstances students who petition to do so will be allowed to complete an M.A. under Plan II (Comprehensive Examination) by passing a written examination in their area of special interest in addition to fulfilling all the requirements of their program (except the thesis). All students are required to pass (1) a written comprehensive examination testing knowledge over a broad spectrum of their field of study, and (2) an oral examination.

Students in all areas will take MUS 200 (Music Bibliography). Each area requires in addition a minimum of 40 quarter units of graduate (200 series) or upper-division undergraduate courses (100 series), including eight units of MUS 299 (Thesis preparation). With the exception of Javanese Gamelan Ensemble (MUS 168), four units of which may contribute to the degree for those enrolled in the Ethnomusicology program, performance courses (MUS 160-180) do not count toward the degree. The courses comprising the remaining required units are disposed differently in each of the three areas as specified below.

1. Composition

• a) MUS 201 (Pro-seminar in the Analysis of Western Music)
• b) MUS 206 (Pro-seminar in Musicology) or MUS 207 (Pro-seminar in Ethnomusicology)
• c) MUS 135 (Motivic and Linear Compositional Techniques), MUS 137 (Freestyle Compositional Techniques), MUS 257 (Seminar in Motivic and Linear Compositional Techniques), and MUS 258 (Seminar in Free Composition). A combination is allowed that includes two of any of these courses, which may be repeated.
• d) MUS 250 (Seminar in Music Theory)
• e) one graduate or upper-division graduate course in Ethnomusicology or Musicology from a list specified by the department

The thesis consists of two parts: (a) a musical composition of substantial scope and (b) a prose essay.

2. Ethnomusicology

• a) MUS 207 (Pro-seminar in Ethnomusicology)
• b) MUS 252 (Seminar in Music Transcription, Analysis, and Representation)
• c) MUS 270 (Seminar in Special Topics in Ethnomusicology)
• d) two courses from MUS 126-129
• e) one graduate or upper-division graduate course in Composition, Music Theory, or Musicology from a list specified by the department
• f) two courses outside the department relevant to the student's interests
• The thesis consists of an essay of substantial scope.

3. Musicology

• a) MUS 201 (Pro-seminar in the Analysis of Western Music)
• b) MUS 206 (Pro-seminar in Musicology)
• c) MUS 207 (Pro-seminar in Ethnomusicology)
• d) three seminars from MUS 261, MUS 262 (E-Z), MUS 263 (E-Z)
• e) one graduate or upper-division graduate course in Composition, Music Theory, or Musicology from a list specified by the department
• f) one course outside the department relevant to the student's interests, or MUS 290
• The thesis consists of an essay of substantial scope. For those taking the option in performance practice, the thesis is a combination of a recital (generally containing 40-45 minutes of music) focused on a particular idea, genre, style, technique, medium or period and an essay related to the recital. Students taking this option must include in their coursework MUS 261 (Seminar in Performance Practice) and 4 units of MUS 290 (Directed Studies) in the form of coaching for their recital.

Students are required to demonstrate a reading knowledge of a foreign language chosen to support their interests with the approval of the department. The requirement can be satisfied either by examination or by enrolling in a course if one is available. Students who have completed four quarters of any language at the university level with a grade of "B" (3.0) or above in the three years before beginning the M.A. program will be considered to have satisfied the requirement.

For further information write to the Graduate Advisor, Department of Music.

The descriptions of many courses listed below carry the phrase or consent of instructor. This is meant to encourage musically qualified students who are not majors to participate in the courses and activities of the Department.
