MHST 432 - Folk Music and the Exotic in the 19th Century

Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

Traces the roots of European interest in the exotic beginning in the 17th century, extending into the 20th century when the tendency becomes most fully realized. Course repertoire will draw on a full range of genres, including opera, song and instrumental music, as well as a variety of ethnographic recordings representing a selection of world cultures. The course will require working with examples of art forms other than music and with living folk and non-western repertoires, most of them un-notated. For independent research projects, students may choose among a variety of media and final products, including studies of 19th-century painting, transcription of recorded source material, original composition, and cultural studies.
