MUS 2350 - Intrn to World Music and Culture

Institution:

Concordia University-Texas

Subject:

Description:

This course examines a variety of musical traditions from around the world. The course will be taught from an ethnomusicological perspective, focusing not on music as sound, but music as an extension of its artistic, cultural, economic, social, political and religious contexts. Course study will concentrate not only on the what of music, but the why. When we can understand the people making the music and their experiences, we can better appreciate the music they are expressing. Ultimately, the course will address the question: is music a universal language? Learning will be guided through readings and audio and video examples, but also through field experiences.
