MHL 204 – SUPPLEMENTARY  LISTENING

 

The following are scores that aren’t in the Norton Anthology but that I want to cover.  You’ll find recordings of all the selections on 3 CDs on reserve in the library.  I’ve posted a PDF of each selection on this website and also my attempt at an analytical note.  You are responsible for knowing these works just as though I’d assigned them from NAWM.
