Ecclesiastical modality 2. Modality of folklore, exotic and 20th century modality 3. Extended tonality (alterations, chords of non-tertian construction, thickened chords, chordal combinations) 4. Free and organized atonality 5. Basics of counterpoint
Intonation and auditory analysis: 1. Churche and exotic modes 2. Prepared chromatic tones 3. Free onsets of alternate degrees 4. Augmented and diminished intervals 5. Harmonic cadences with extra-tonal dominants 6. Rhythmic exercises (minor and major triplets, two-beat rhythm, irregular division of periods)¨
