World Music
MUSC 102
Spring 2025
| Section:
01
|
This course will explore the diversity and range of musical expression around the world, mapping styles across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We will immerse ourselves in a combination of extensive listening to recordings and viewing videos, reading, discussion, in-class performances, and attending relevant cultural events. The world as a whole will be surveyed and regional traits will be identified. Emphasis will be placed on specific pieces, musical instruments, artists, genres, and countries; discovering cross-cultural commonalities and differences; and understanding histories and processes of globalization. Assignments will consist of quizzes on the listening material, Moodle Forum posts, recording and concert reviews, and midterm and final group or solo projects. Three parallel goals will be pursued: 1) to become literate in a broad range of music from around the world; 2) to become familiar with a variety of approaches to understanding music from around the world; and 3) to experience the creative formation of a global music community in microcosm through midterm and final projects. |
