Clay:  That's more or less a Choral Literature course, and it would depend on the extent to which you would actually be looking and and/or analyzing pieces.

 

My suggestion for an Independent Study would actually be to narrow the scope either to a single historic period, which you might have some chance of actually covering, or to a single major choral-orchestral work (the Brahms Requien comes to mind as an example) and doing a really in-depth analysis.  But that depends on what your professor thinks would do you the most good.

All the best,
