MUSIC 337 - World Music Seminar

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the classical music of India, Indonesia, China, Korea, and Japan, and the influence of that music on 20th-century Western music, including the California school of Cage, Cowell, and Harrison; minimalists Glass, Reich, Riley, and Young; and Europeans such as Ligeti, Messiaen, and Xenakis. Westerntrained Asian composers who have reintroduced traditional Asian materials into their work (Tan Dun, Yuji Takahashi, Toru Takemitsu, Chou Wen-chung) are also studied. The most recent developments in intercultural hybridization by younger composers and improvisers (Fred Ho, Jin Hi Kim, Miya Masaoka, Ikue Mori) are studied in the context of a developing integrated world music culture that promises to be a major musical trend in the 21st century.
