MUS 124 — SUNY Jefferson Orchestra
The SUNY Jefferson Orchestra is the college community orchestra. This course provides instrumentalists the opportunity to rehearse and perform a wide variety of music literature from classical and contemporary repertoires. Principles of group performance are presented with emphasis on the interpretation of orchestral literature. Students must supply their own musical instrument except for piano keyboards and timpani drums. The instructor may audition students for instrument selection to achieve ensemble balance and determine instrumental competence. Participation in ensemble performances is mandatory; unexcused absence from a required performance will result in a failing grade for the course. MUS 124 may be taken up to four semesters for credit; additional semesters may be audited.
