Renaissance and Baroque Canons, Athanasius Kircher’s aleatoric composition machine, Bach’s Musical Offering, Mozart’s Musical Dice Game: Puzzle canons, contrapuntal devices, musical games, and musical automata are an oft-derided yet admired part of musical culture. This course will look at and emulate musical examples from the Renaissance through the 18th Century in trickery and cleverness.
