This course examines the development of musical settings of the ordinary of the mass between 1700 and c.1800. Approaches to the mass as a musical genre during this period will be considered through an examination of the mass settings of Johann Joseph Fux (1660-1741), Antonio Caldara (1670-1736), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). This is a score-based course, and students will be provided with materials from week to week as the module progresses.
